Episode 5: Specify the `encoding` when reading in JSON file #114

In episode 5, we're reading in the eva-data.json file. However, some participants got a UnicodeDecodeError because of the unicode characters present in the data.

Specifying encoding="utf8" when opening the file might help, although it might be worth figuring out why only some people got this error.
