Stavvy's World

The host of Stavvy's World wants podcast listeners to treat him like their therapist. He's not a counselor with a diploma, years of experience, and endless empathy. Instead, he's a more affordable, less qualified version. He's the kind of therapist who uses vulgar language, doesn't censor himself, and operates out of the back of a Greek restaurant. Each week, Stavros Halkias invites his funny friends on the podcast. They tell him their problems, and he tries to offer solutions. Then, they team up to solve listeners' concerns. It's a big party where everyone needs help, but Stavros has the answers.

The podcast's host has been a successful comedian for over a decade. Stavros started his career when he was still at the University of Maryland. There, he hosted a showcase once a month. He also performed on stages across the area, earning him the title of Baltimore's New Comedian of the Year in 2002. After moving to NYC, his career grew at a rapid pace. He appeared on shows like Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and Sex Fails. His most famous endeavor came with his first podcasting role. As a cohost of Cum Town, Stavros could showcase his raunchy sense of humor to its full extent. Stavvy's World is no different. While its main goal is to give advice, its secondary mission is to make the audience laugh by any means possible.

As a comedy veteran, Stavros has many comedian friends who enjoy chatting to him on the air. Some notable guests on the podcast include Rachel Feinstein, Esther Povitsky, and Matteo Lane. They open up about subjects like addictions, their relationships, and funny childhood anecdotes. It's a candid yet hilarious conversation about the realities of life.

The callers' questions involve anything from dating advice to coping with baldness. Stavros and his guests don't hold qualifications to act as therapists. However, their answers do seek to provide advice. While their thoughts might be blunt and profane, they always seek to entertain. Listeners may find Stavvy's World a lighthearted way to access self-help through comedy.
