About the Show

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.

butterflies!

Spring's coming and before you know it, Southern Californians everywhere will be pining for butterflies. In preparation for the upcoming season Ilsa Setziol sat down to talk with Brent Karner, resident bug expert at LA's Natural History Museum about butterflies and what we all can do to make our backyards more habitable for America's most beloved insect.
