Gary Bisbee IV is a rising third grader who is an excellent student, and as his granddad’s oldest grandchild, has assumed the role of the ‘grandchildren’s spokesperson.’ He has demonstrated early proficiency in sales, particularly if acquiring technology is involved. G4, as he is lovingly known, has shown signs of being a facile and engaging host while interviewing his granddad.
Lucy Bisbee is the newest entrant in the Bisbee grandchild podcasting derby. However, her initial interest and competence is in gymnastics where her persistence and performance in class has been impressive. She has shown early signs of interest in podcasting, having become quite familiar with the podcasting studio. Her word production is increasing exponentially and will soon approach her granddad’s.
Noelle Bisbee is five years younger than her brother and has adopted the attitude that whatever is good for him, is good for her. She is an award winner in her preschool. She is a bit young to assess potential interest in podcasting but her granddad is holding open all options. Her interest in people and building relationships will stand her in good stead if she expands her podcasting interests.
