Verdigris with Rae & Andi

About Verdigris with Rae & Andi

Verdigris is a lively wander into the wonderfully weird world of historic preservation, where hosts Rae and Andi dig into the stories hiding in plain sight. With equal parts scholarship and snark, they explore everything from haunted mansards and heroic elevators to the everyday spaces that quietly shape our lives. Their conversations celebrate the odd corners of the built environment while gently poking fun at the field’s quirks.

   Stop! Here is the Empire of Death

   Spooky season is back, and Rae and Andi plunge into Paris’s strangest underworld—the catacombs—where shadowy tunnels, dripping ceilings, and endless walls of bones await. Andi, who grew up steps from the entrance, reveals how collapsing quarries and a burial crisis forged this vast subterranean ossuary. It’s history, eerie atmosphere, and pure October shivers for anyone who loves a little darkness with their flannel. Hosted on Acast.

   Spiral Staircase Energy

   Turns out the most universally beloved building type is basically a fancy candle in a stone tube. Rae and Andi cover whale oil, concentric prisms, and the surprisingly emotional case for saving obsolete towers nobody technically needs anymore. Calves of steel required. Hosted on Acast.

   Fueling Up!

   Gas stations get a second act: donut shops, roasteries, and beer gardens where the pumps used to be. Rae and Andi trace roadside architecture from Art Deco curves to Mission Revival tile to a baffling Tudor cottage phase (chimneys included) and land squarely in your coffee cup. It's architecture, nostalgia, and a mild caffeine addiction, all in one episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
