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.

Funding provided by:

Corporation for Public Broadcasting

Back in April of 2008, Anna Sklar, the author of "Brown Acres, an Intimate History of the Los Angeles Sewers," took Off-Ramp host John Rabe underground into the longest sewer line in the country. Here's the three-part interview from the Off-Ramp archives.
