Wholly BuyableAuthor: Chas Bayfield
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 isnt 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 worlds best-selling book a little better.

Trigger warning: This episode includes accounts of infant death In 597 BC, the city of Babylon was besieged.Eleven years later, Nebuchadnezzar II's army returned and laid siege to it once again.The privations of living through these sieges are hard to imagine, but readers don't need to use their imagination.They have the poet or poets who lived through these terrible years and saw the horror with their own eyes.If Jeremiah's book ended bleakly, Lamentations takes that desolation another level down.Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicCover art by Lisa GoffSend any comments or feedback to contact@whollybuyable.comX: @WhollyBuyable
