Garlic,
I think its great that your daughter wants to branch out and try new things. In my opinion the blog/podcast combo is a great idea. I'd recommend something like Squarespace to host it all on, she can easily learn how to add posts and edit the site. I'd turn off comments on the site though. Maybe only allow her to do her social interaction on Facebook or something. That way you can see who's responding and they won't be as anonymous. As for the name, if she is going to be a writer it might be a good exercise for her to pick the name herself. Maybe have her spend a hour writing down any name that comes to mind and she'll have a pretty big list at the end of it. I wish her the best of luck and I think its awesome that your supporting her with it.
Wild guess.
OT : Hope she does have a blog, as others have asked. This might be the single most important place to start for that kind of stuff - will also be nice to have on her resume. The podcast is not a bad idea, just be sure that she doesn't go overboard with it.
As for a name, I have no clue but I think it should come from her and depends so much on what she's going to talk about it, how, what she likes etc. Of course you may want to have a say in it, she's 13 after all
GL !
Came here expecting something, mmo posters didn't disappoint.
My previous post stands, but I think it could be a fun hobby that promotes a number of things: critical thinking, expressing her opinions clearly, public speaking, criticism AND learning the technology itself. Not to mention the reading that goes with it all.

I am pretty sure I can do both in a very insulting manner, especially the truth.
It's not very insulting, still it would be insulting of me the think even a single second that you didn't know what he and I mean.
Now this is not the thread to talk about political correctness and I'm sure no one cares anyway, so let's move on
haha bro thats funny because My daughter wants to start podcasting.... need a name for it.
She is 13 and wants to start a podcast about books for teens.
Her logic was - since she wants to be a writer - that if she does it long enough, and gets enough notice, it will help her when she applies to colleges. So, she wants a "cool" name for it..... I thought Teen Book Talk would be perfect, but she doesn't think so.
Why would you throw your daughter to the wolves at such a young age?
books
cool
21st century
good luck man, good luck. i like the podcasting idea, i would never listen to it because 13 year old and because books, i think if this thread is already too much for you then maybe the internet will make you sad, i wouldn't go for cool but for catchy (like Listen Up! or some shit).
13 is not old enough to have that kind of responsibility. Let her write things and get some experience before she starts on throwing herself out into the wolf pit.
Be a responsible parent... -.-.
"First Person" (cause like, lots of books are written from that perspective? And she's young and small and so is the number 1 in 1st and also there is just one of her for now, and she is a person)
On the offchance your daughter is called Paige, "Turn the Paige" because pages like a book, and paige, and that's funny.
Uhhhh... "Readdit" (cause reddit is a thing on the internet, and so is your daughters podcast. You could even promote it on reddit?)
uhhhhh shit no i'm out
