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.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting

In 1945, drummer Jerrie Thill jumped into her '38 Dodge Coupe and drove from Dubuque, Iowa all the way to the coast.

Now, Thill is 89 and she plays the Sunday brunch show at El Cid in LA's Silverlake neighborhood.

Off-Ramp producer Queena Kim caught a set on one of those record hot days we had this summer.
