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
109: Skin that Crawls with Worms (Job 6-10)
Job is a good man.
He enjoys a prosperous life.
He worships God.
The Devil is confident that Job's faith is paper thin and that a bit of adversity will soon have him rejecting God.
God takes the opposite position and so the experiment slash wager begins.
With his skin itching and sore, all his material wealth gone and his children dead, Job must now endure the "wisdom" of three of his friends, each of whom claims to know exactly why he is suffering, without any self realisation that they are each adding to Job's problems.
