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.

Sixty years ago today, three-year-old Kathy Fiscus fell down an abandoned well in San Marino. Kathy's disappearance marked a transformation in journalism: the beginning of live reporting. Patt Morrison talks to veteran KTLA reporter Stan Chambers, who reported the event and USC historian Bill Deverell.
