Episode description as stored

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. Dr. Legacy’s book, “Making Space for the Dead: Catacombs, Cemeteries, and the Reimagining of Paris, 1780-1830” on Bookshop.org and Amazon Catacombs tickets A donation went to: Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas More episode sources and links Other episodes you may enjoy: Taphology (GRAVESITES) , Osteology (SKELETONS/BODY FARMS) , Thanatology (DEATH & DYING) Updated Encore , FIELD TRIP: I Go France , Desairology (MORTUARY MAKE-UP) , Anthropodermic Biocodicology (HUMAN LEATHER BOOKS) Sponsors of Ologies Transcripts and bleeped episodes Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes Become a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month OlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, masks, totes!
