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.

Shirley Zhang, Miss Chinatown 2011 and KPCC listener
When I introduced myself to Shirley Zhang, Miss Chinatown 2011, about Chinese New Year, the first thing she said was, "I LOVE KPCC!" And then she told me how she spreads the word about our station in her own way ... by telling potential Miss Chinatown's that they should listen, because it's the best way to win the Q&A segment of the contest.
