Podcast Episode 002 - Radioactivity, Russia, APIs, GIFs and JSON

This week, we introduce Eve and Martin, and talk about APIs and JSON, while going off-topic quite frequently. Recorded on 2nd August 2018. The Founders & Coders (FAC) podcast is aimed at anyone interested in hearing about what it's like to be on the course, web development in general, and/or the backgrounds and interests of the people taking it. As the episodes progress, we'll try to make it more polished, and get the chance to include people otherwise associated with FAC (the people taking the FAC course in Nazareth and Gaza, FAC alumni, and some of the external speakers that we get in).
