There are few twentieth century figures as mysterious as Grigori Rasputin. The
Siberian mystic has been portrayed as a scheming dark magician who seduced the
Russian Queen and made a cuckold of Tsar Nicholas II. He's been blamed for

anything to the legend of Rasputin? Tune in and find out how children with
iron teeth, religious sex-parties, Robert Redford, and Homer Simpson all play
a role in the story.
