Sellers, an attorney and social justice activist, represented South Carolina's 90th district in the lower house of the state legislature from 2006 to 2014. He is a former member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, 2014 Democratic Nominee for Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, and served as the first vice-chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party.

"ViewPoint with Bakari Sellers'" second week guest will be syndicated radio personality Charlamagne Tha God and his third week guest will be businessman, author, investor, "Shark" and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.

"The Westwood One Podcast Network has quickly become a leader in news/talk podcasts -- it's undeniably the right place for Bakari's unique show," said Suzanne Grimes, EVP, Corporate Marketing, Cumulus Media and President, Westwood One.
