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.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting

"El Piolin" (Eddie Sotelo) is the single most listened-to radio personality in Southern California. Twenty-two years after entering the country illegally, he's now a full-fledged citizen. He chatted with correspondent Jackson Musker after making it official.
