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.

The words "incautiously," "rhubarb," and "behind" figure prominently in the latest celebrity interview by Off-Ramp's favorite impressionist, Jim Meskimen:

By the way, Garrison's successor, Chris Thile, brings A Prairie Home Companion to the Pasadena Civic this Saturday. If you were wondering about this new fellow, now's your chance to see what the fuss is about. And if you weren't that into Garrison, Thile has freshened up the show without losing its essence. Here's my Off-Ramp interview with Thile.
