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.

Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq talks to Off-Ramp producer Queena Kim about growing up in the remote reaches of Canada, art school and hickeys.
