First, I want to remind everyone that English is not my first language or Frode's. So, it is normal that some parts may be a little hard to understand, but please bear with us. Second: This is our second episode. I am not an expert in podcasting; this is completely out of my comfort zone, and I hope it can only get better from here regarding sound and quality. Thank you very much, and here is the episode:
