Random Acts of Weirdness is BACK! Back just in time for spooky season, listen to this thrilling true-life story from host Jess Maiuro.

What begins as a happy "Ferris Bueller Day" between best friends grows sinister as the waves crash on the shore and an ominous stranger comes too close for comfort.

Listener Note: The original working title for what we now know as "Random Acts of Weirdness" was "Sinister Stay." Pulled this one out of the archives, so in the intro/outro expect to hear reference to it. Didn't want to cause any confusion!

There is also a brief mention of self-harm.

A chance conversation, and the energy it holds, carries from one place to another. Please enjoy!

Background acting holds many unique experiences, some on camera...some off. Get a behind the scenes story on what it was like being on set of the hit TV show The Sinner.

Natural disasters! A tangent on stolen Kashi bars! Christian karaoke! A (not so) sexy band camp situation. If you think you know volunteer life, you haven't heard the half of it. Mary-Kate has a story for the ages. It's full of hilarity, weirdness...and some very questionable sleeping quarters. Come for the laughs, stay for Mary-Kate's infectious energy while telling us all about her kooky adventures on the road.

Have you ever been a guest somewhere and things go awry really fast? Did it make you wonder if the hosts were low-key trying to kidnap you?  If so, this is a totally relatable story. If not, buckle up! Random Acts of Weirdness host Jess Maiuro kicks off Episode 1 with a personal story recounting an invitation from a college friend to stay at her family's home and a night out in the city that does NOT go as planned.
