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.

The Hotel Cecil was once the temporary home of Jack Unterweger, who murdered prostitutes in Los Angeles and Austria in the early 1990s. Queena Kim talks to author John Leake, who wrote Entering Hades: The Double Life of a Serial Killer.
