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.

Funding provided by:

Corporation for Public Broadcasting

At dinnerpartydownload.com, you'll find the biweekly broadcast along with all the usual trimmings: the "Cheat Sheet" of handy info from the show, pictures, and bonus audio. Bon Appetit!

This week: "Nerdcore" rapper MC Frontalot rhymes the unrhymeable, take a trip down Memory Superhighway, and Brendan gets fat on the tastes of Autumn.
