Sellers, a Columbia attorney, represented Bamberg County in the S.C. House from 2006 to 2014, when he was the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor. Since leaving office, Sellers has become a regular commentator on CNN.
Clinton, currently on tour promoting the memoir of her 2016 loss entitled “What Happened,” is a big get for the upstart podcast. However, the podcast’s iTunes page promotes a wide range of future guests, including Southeastern Conference sportscaster Paul Finebaum, and S.C. native and radio personality Charlamagne tha God.
It looks like politics and current events will be the main focus of the podcast. The podcast’s description says it will introduce “emerging voices of the day on a number of hot button topics ranging from the future of Democratic politics in the South to the role of #blacklivesmatter in the Age of Trump.”
