In this Naked History: Debrief, we descend even deeper into the eerie, surprising, and downright bizarre world of the Paris Catacombs. Host Dyllan Gasaway unearths the stories we couldn’t fit in the main episode. Like the underground mushroom farms, covert WWII operations, and the ever-present threat of Paris literally collapsing into itself.
We’ll explore how the Catacombs became a battlefield, a fungus garden, a Resistance hideout, a Nazi command post, and yes—even a movie theater. From legendary cataphiles to ghostly carvings, this is the underworld of Paris like you’ve never heard it before.
Creepy, curious, and occasionally covered in manure—this is your official bonus guide to the Empire of the Dead.
