Episode notes

Everybody who died in Paris are in the catacombs for centuries it's really fascinating. What is the best way to pay your respects asked patrons Jade Walker, Naomi Jane Lee O'Reilly and Kelsey Simpson. Do you think there's anything distinctly French or Parisian about maybe wanting to have that the pardon that the pun but the legacy of wanting to be viewed by the future?

Let’s get spooky. Venture below Parisian streets and into the catacombs: hundreds of miles of subterranean tunnels housing millions of human skeletons, some fashioned into sculpture. Alie tracked down Dr. Erin-Marie Legacey – author of “Making Space for the Dead,” professor of French history and one of the world’s foremost experts on this eerie place. We chat about everything from miasmas to sinkholes, boggling cemetery history, smells, skulls, hidden chambers, (very) underground parties, and how we view our bodies post-life. Also: Alie takes a trip to see them herself.
