This edition of Global Journalist is audio-only.

We're covering two issues on this edition of Global Journalist.

First, Jason McLure interviews Saw Yan Naing (@yannaingsaw), a journalist from Myanmar. He's in the United States as part of the Alfred Friendly Fellowship Program, which creates partnerships between American media outlets and journalists from around the world.

Then, we talk with Matthew Heineman (@MattHeineman), director of the award-winning documentary "Cartel Land," which tells the story of the ongoing drug war at the U.S.-Mexico border, and how vigilantes are working to try and keep both sides safe.
