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.

On the occasion of "New Frontiers: The Many Worlds of George Takei," a new exhibit at the Japanese American National Museum that opens Sunday, I had to speak with George Takei himself about his long life and career.
Here's my long interview with George, covering those family photos, the internment, his acting career, his non-flirtation with Raymond Burr, his marriage to Brad, and turning 80 (on April 20).
We also talk at length about his latest gig, as the Reciter in "Pacific Overtures," a Stephen Sondheim/John Weidman musical from 1976, now directed by John Doyle. Performances begin April 5 at the Classic Stage Company.
