Stavvy’s World

Stavros Halkias built a massive online following through his infectious laugh and willingness to go anywhere for a joke, and this podcast is where all of that energy lands every week. The format blends comedian interviews with a call-in advice segment where listeners dial 904-800-STAV to leave voicemails with their problems. Stav and his rotating guests then attempt to solve these problems, though that word is generous for what usually happens. The show has been running since late 2022 and has already crossed 340 episodes. Most full episodes clock in around 90 minutes, with bonus clips and previews filling in between. Recurring segments like McDade Maniacs and Cheeks Brothers have developed their own followings within the fanbase. The guest list rotates through comedians, podcasters, and other personalities, with standout episodes featuring guests like Marie Faustin and Alex English getting particular love from listeners. His comedy style leans heavily on self-deprecation, absurdist premises, and a level of openness about his own life that keeps conversations feeling personal rather than performative. He is not doing a character. The guy you hear on the podcast is pretty much the guy who shows up to his stand-up specials, which is part of the appeal. His 2024 Netflix hour cemented his reputation as a headliner, and the podcast audience has grown alongside his touring career. Now distributed through SiriusXM Podcasts, the show holds a 4.5-star rating across nearly 2,500 reviews on Apple Podcasts. The vibe is loose and warm -- it feels like hanging out with a funny friend who happens to know a lot of other funny people.
