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.

John Hodgman is the writer and “The Daily Show” humorist who likes to portray himself as the unchallenged expert on any aspect of life. He is not. And this one, a biggie, he also got wrong.
Like so many others, he thought the end of the world would come on December 21, 2012. He gathered a faithful audience in Brooklyn and chronicled his end-of-days video. The sun, as we know, rose the next morning, and Hodgman is making amends with “Ragnarok,” a Netflix video account of that night.
Patt Morrison ran him to ground in the Chateau Marmont, where he keeps a panic room exactly for occasions like this.
