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.

In the animal kingdom, love can be a grim matter. Each year, for example, salmon swim upstream to the site of their freshwater birth to spawn and die not long after, never to see the open water again.
For Valentine's day this year, the Nature Conservancy of California is celebrating those animals that are willing to die--or kill--for love. Off-Ramp producer Kevin Ferguson talked with Larry Serpa, an ecologist with the Nature Conservancy.
