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
14: Ravenous Wolves (Genesis 47-50)
Egypt is still suffering from a complete absence of harvests.
The famine is so severe that even when the people have spent all their money, they still don’t have enough to eat.
Having brought his family safely out of Canaan, the threat of starvation is still uncomfortably real.
Has Joseph done enough to prepare for the tough times ahead?
And with his father now old and weak, will he finally turn on the brothers who long ago turned on him?
Listen to Genesis’ season finale to find out.
