Wholly Buyable
Advertising Creative Director Chas Bayfield takes you on a road trip through the Bible, leaving one significant item of baggage at home- religion. He tells the story from Genesis to Revelation and explains how this more than any other book has impacted western culture. Wholly Buyable is a podcast for people who might never normally pick up a Bible but who feel they should perhaps know a little more about it than they currently do. After all, the Bible is a book for everyone, not just believers. Listeners will be taken through action sequences worthy of a 21st century TV drama. They will be seduced by erotic poetry and bombarded with hallucinatory visions. Fill your boots with betrayal, brutality, beauty and, believe it or not, comedy. This isn’t your average Bible podcast; no one will be told what to believe but everyone who joins in the journey will hopefully feel that they know the world’s best-selling book a little better.
Wholly Buyable
105: The Queen Who Said No (Esther 1-2)
You're king of one of the largest empires ever amassed.
You're hosting a banquet for the governors of all your territories.
And you want your queen to make an appearance.
She feels that she is only being paraded in front of the men as a trophy, and refuses.
The stage is set for one of the Bible's most remarkable stories, a literal rags to riches fairy tale with enough grit and gore to make it a genuine page turner.
