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.

In his life, Frank Zappa released over 60 albums total and recorded dozens more that never saw the light of day. Kevin Ferguson talks with Gail Zappa--Frank’s widow--and Joe Travers--the Zappa family's official archivist--about how you maintain an archive for one of the most prolific musicians of all time. Gail and Joe will be giving a more in depth talk about the Zappa archives in Downtown LA on Thursday, May 12 as part of the Association for Record Sound Collections' 45th annual conference.
