In the previous episode, we extended the API client with the ability to fetch the video for an episode. Because videos are protected resources, the request includes an Authorization header with an access token as its value. The solution we implemented works, but it is tedious to pass the access token to the API client and the object invoking the video(id:accessToken:) method shouldn't need to deal with access tokens. That is a responsibility of the API client.
