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

John talks the people who use food banks and the people who run them. 89.3-KPCC partnered with the L.A. County Regional Food Bank during the fall fundraiser, and listeners bought 200,000 meals for hungry families.
