About this listen

This week on Folklore, Myth and Legend, Sam and Toby kick off their deep dive into the life and legend of Grigori Rasputin, the infamous "Mad Monk" of Russia. In the first part of this multi-episode series, the boys explore Rasputin’s misfit beginnings, his mysterious spiritual (and possibly sexual) awakening, and the strange path that transformed him into one of history’s most notorious mystics.


Was Rasputin a divine healer, a con artist, or something far more sinister? Tune in for a tale of faith, deception and the roots of one of history’s most enigmatic figures, who's actions may have changed Russia forever and possibly, even the world...
