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.

For eight years, Brenda Villa has splashed and scored for the U.S. Women's Water Polo team. She led the squad to a silver medal in Sydney, and a bronze in Athens. In Beijing, Villa now the team captain, is looking for the missing medal. KPCC's Brian Watt chats with the water polo powerhouse.
