Podcasts are a great way to catch up on all your favorite topics. But what if fictional characters were allowed to host? Here are 5 literary characters that should have their own podcast.

Arya Stark 

Winter is coming….in the form of a podcast! Arya is definitely the spunkiest Stark offspring, and that's why she deserves her very own podcast. Since she's training to be an assassin, Arya can give everyone the four-one-one on the art of revenge. Not sure how long her show will last though, since we all know how George R. R. Martin feels about keeping popular characters alive!
