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.

Visitors flocked to the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens to see a Corpse Flower bloom for the first time in years. KPCC's Shirley Jahad went to check out the stinky flower and spoke to the Huntington's Lisa Blackburn.
