It’s “The Love Boat” on Noah’s Ark!

“The Love Ark” is a scripted comedy podcast based on the Noah’s Ark story, told in the style of “The Love Boat.” Season 1 is packed with romance, miracles, murder, and two of every animal.

When God commands Noah to build an Ark and fill it with beasts, Noah obeys. But it’s not just a floating zoo—it’s a full-service luxury cruise. Captain Noah has his hands full guessing at God’s will, while managing his family of sinners. Noah’s wife Naameh handles the guests, procuring udders of tingling ointment and performing the occasional chicken abortion. Eldest son Shem sneaks his alcoholic girlfriend Marilyn onboard by faking a pregnancy...which works until they have to produce a baby. Good son Japheth suffers a broken heart when his lover mysteriously disappears, while bad son Ham prowls the Ark for biblical knowledge of the animal guests. As the heavens open, Noah realizes that he and his family are bad. Extremely bad. As chaos, calamity, and sin consume the Ark, Noah grows desperate to please God...and avoid His wrath. 

All aboard for romance! All aboard for adventure! All aboard for GOD.
