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.

I have a dream in which all the public radio stations in town collaborate to foil people who turn off a station that's fundraising and switch over to one that isn't.
In my dream, Steve Chiotakis over at KCRW would say on the air, "Hey! If you're listening to us only because KPCC is fundraising, NOT COOL! Get back there and make a pledge!"
Steve Julian would intone, "Hey! You in the car! You can't just listen to us when K-Jazz is trying to get you to pay your fair share! Get back there and make a pledge."
And so on. It's probably against FCC rules, but I can still dream.
And hence, a little fundraising spot that lets me exercise my inner Svejda.

If you haven't given yet, seriously, your contribution matters, and it keeps Off-Ramp on the air and strong. Please give now.
