Better Half with Stas & Vic is like a chic members-only club disguised as a show — and yes, your name’s on the list. Hosted by Stas Karanikolaou and Victoria Villarroel, this is where you'll find unfiltered opinions, debrief last night's adventures & have “should we even be saying this?” conversations. Every Wednesday, Stas and Vic talk life, love, pop culture, friendships, and whatever else would normally stay between best friends (and their shared Notes app). Friends pop in, tea gets spilled, and nothing is too serious. Think of Better Half as the group chat you’re obsessed with, the after-party you didn’t leave, and the inside joke you actually get. See you soon!
