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.

KPCC's Sharon McNary -- who ran the LA Marathon on Off-Ramp last year -- interviews Jef Mallett about his new book "Trizophrenia: Inside the Minds of a Triathlete." It's no surprise, if you read his comic strip "Frazz," that Mallett is a dedicated (diagnosed) triathlete. This is the long version of their interview, complete with an unplanned appearance by the Mallett family dog.
Come inside to see Jef's TriCave - where he keeps all his water bottles, sweaty jumpsuits, and race jerseys - and to buy a copy of "Trizophrenia" and have the proceeds benefit KPCC.
