    Description

    It's fair to say Israel's King Solomon doesn't hold back when it comes to getting married.His enthusiasm for the opposite sex is legendary, as is his immense harem.However, according to the Bible this does not sit well with God, especially as some of Solomon's wives are from pagan nations, and the women prove as seductive as their religions. The seeds are sown for a complete unravelling of Solomon's kingdom, and within a few short chapters, Israel is in complete freefall.Enjoy the schadenfreude.Chapters covered: 1 Kings 11-13Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicCover art by Lisa GoffX: Wholly Buyable Podcastcontact@whollybuyable.com

    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.
