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!

We watched Wuthering Heights… and it emotionally destroyed us.

kylie jenner: keeping up with our best friend - ep. 26
mercredi 26 août 2026 • Durée 48:56
our next guest needs no introduction… but to us, she’s just our best friend. Stas has known Kylie since 2009, and Victoria actually used to work for her—which is how we met. today, we’re skipping the Kylie everyone thinks they know and getting into the Ky we know and love. we’re talking her love for cats, what really happened at her birthday party, her Knicks wardrobe, the infamous laptop story, and why the internet thinks we secretly hate each other.
basically, it’s less of an interview and more of a best-friend catch-up. welcome to the group chat x

Carter’s back for part two! We talk about discovering artists then vs. now, the future of streaming, and why the real power behind what becomes viral is in your hands. Carter also opens up about the politics of music, imposter syndrome, seeing artists finally get their flowers, and what it actually takes to build talent instead of just finding it. Plus the creation of his own label Plot Twist Records and its debut launch “Fourth Strike.”
