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.

A beautiful woman who shows no discretion is like a pig with a ring in its nose. Morally upstanding people care for their animals. And those who spare the rod ruin their children. The Book of Proverbs is not afraid to pull punches and the aphorisms that flow from Solomon's pen are nothing if not colourful. Enjoy the wisdom! Written and produced by Chas Bayfield Music by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins Music Cover art by Lisa Goff…
 
The title of T E Lawrence (of Arabia)'s autobiography, 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' is taken from a verse in the Book of Proverbs. In this episode, we also meet 'Love covers a multitude of sins' and the finger wagging evangelicals' favourite, 'the wages of sin is death'. The Book of Proverbs is not only a treasure trove of wisdom, its beautiful poetic language has also endured. Written and produced by Chas Bayfield Music by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins Music Cover art by Lisa Goff…
 
"Come, let us drink deeply of love till morning. Let us enjoy ourselves with love!" Such is the siren call of the adulterous older woman, intent on seducing a foolish yet lustful young man while her husband is away on business. This is a one way street from which there is no return, Solomon advises his son, It is fair to say this is one of the more colourful sections of the Bible, but it is far from gratuitous. Another woman also takes centre stage in the Book of Proverbs: Wisdom. And unlike the adulteress, she offers life instead of death. Written and produced by Chas Bayfield Music by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins Music Cover Art by Lisa Goff…
 
A new season begins. This is the Book of Proverbs, a monster collection of aphorisms and other gems of knowledge culled by Israel's King Solomon and other wise ancients. Much of the book is aimed at the king's children, but the wisdom is universal. The opening section is a shot across the bows, a signal of what is to come before the floodgates open. An appetite whetter if you will. As with the Bible's previous book, the Book of Psalms, there's not much story, but there is plenty or poetry. And, for those in need of wisdom and advice, there is also plenty to learn.…
 
Finally! We reach the end of the Book of Psalms. The book ends on a high as writers sing unrestrained songs of praise to God. As the Psalms reach their upbeat finale, expect Milton, Mendelssohn and missing verses. And joy, lots of it. Written and produced by Chas Bayfield Music by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins Music Cover art by Lisa Goff…
 
The idea that God knows each person on earth intimately has proven one of the more attractive facets of Christianity, and the concept makes its first biblical landfall in the Book of Psalms. The final short songs of the Psalms are some of the most joyful and poetic as the book crescendoes towards its finale. Written and produced by Chas Bayfield Music by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins Music Cover art by Lisa Goff…
 
Originally sung by reggae band The Melodians, and made internationally famous by Boney M, the lyrics about exiles weeping by Babylon's rivers were written thousands of years earlier by a scribe who remembered the desolation felt by his captive people. Modern day fame has catapulted this psalm into the public consciousness but it conceals horrors that are less well known. Psalm 137 is a song of both grief and revenge against the people who attempted to destroy Israel and its children. Written and produced by Chas Bayfield. Music by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins Music Cover art by Lisa Goff…
 
Short but very sweet. The songs sung by ancient pilgrims as they travelled from the far corners of the Jewish world to the Jerusalem temple are immortalised in this section of the Book of Psalms. These are the 'Songs of Ascent' - despite the hill on which the city was built not being the highest in Israel, the journey to Jerusalem was always 'up'. These short songs of joy have been plundered by hymn writers throughout the ages, and Felix Mendelssohn and Johann Sebastian Bach were also fans. Cue music! Written and produced by Chas Bayfield. Music by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins Music. Cover art by Lisa Goff…
 
Psalm 119 concludes. The entire poem is a eulogy to God's laws and the psalmist admires, studies, remembers, contemplates, learns and hopes to understand these rules. There is a repetitive, meditative quality to the poem which is followed by a series of songs sung as pilgrims travelled to Zion, the City of God, Jerusalem. These are the Songs of Ascent, and here is where they begin. Written and produced by Chas Bayfield. Music by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins Music. Cover art by Lisa Goff…
 
A shout of joy that becomes a political hot potato in New Testament times, and the longest chapter in the Bible. If it’s God‘s laws, rules, ways, decrees, precepts, statutes and commands you’re interested, in this is your happy place. Written and produced by Chas Bayfield. Music by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins Music. Cover art by Lisa Goff…
 
We're all familiar with the phrase "Hallelujah". A heartfelt shout of joy uttered by religious and non religious alike. It first makes landfall in a series of Psalms known, unsurprisingly, as the Halel. We run into these songs here and find that they contain the shortest chapter in the entire Bible, a song that punches above its weight. Expect euphoria. Written and produced by Chas Bayfield Music by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins Music Cover art by Lisa Goff…
 
Book Five, the final part of the Book of Psalms begins. This is where we meet the most quoted Psalm in the Bible, and one of its most beloved. Psalm 110 sees Israel's great king David referring enigmatically to an even greater king, one who he describes as his Lord, a ruler whose kingdom will reign forever. Christians believe they know who this king might be! But first, the book navigates through an epic and poetic storm on the high seas.…
 
Much as the Psalms were songs of praise to God, some were written as a kind of oral history; a retelling of Israel's story set to music. The music and the repeated telling of these stories embedded in Israel's people a sense of where they had come from and how God had rescued them, set them apart and chosen them to be his special people. This podcast retells that retelling in plain English, without any assumption that listeners are religious. Written and produced by Chas Bayfield Music by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins Music Cover art by Lisa Goff…
 
The Book of Psalms is so long that it is split into five separate books. This is where Book Four begins. Some believe that these are some of the oldest psalms and that they were written by the Old Testament ancient, Moses. If that is the case, this would make them some of the oldest writing in the Bible. The transience of life, God's shield of invincibility and his praiseworthiness all take central stage in these enduring songs. Written and produced by Chas Bayfield Music by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins Music Cover Art by Lisa Goff…
