This week, we introduce Joe and Aisha, and welcome back Kate! We talk about Node JS, our Node projects and hear about Aisha's experiences since finishing FAC. We hope to get her back on to chat more about her experiences as a mentor in Gaza, too.

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).
