Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Since 1934, the Academy's given awards to songwriters for composing the best original song in films. Songs that have taken awards are classics like the theme from Shaft, "I Just Called to Say I Love You," and the unforgettable and insufferable "My Heart Will Go On."
This year, songwriters Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois — formerly of the pop band the New Radicals — got a nomination for "Lost Stars," from the romantic comedy "Begin Again."
Alexander and Brisebois talked about the song and their writing process with Off-Ramp host John Rabe.
