Cumulus Media’s Westwood One has announced that Family Matters has joined the Cumulus Podcast Network. Hosted by CJ Pearson, Family Matters tackles the most pressing social, cultural, and political issues in America as told from a perspective rarely heard in podcasting: conservative, culturally aware, and authentically Black.
With a voice that loves family, faith, country, and straight talk, Family Matters represents the loud, proud, and passionate conservative voices in the Black community. Each episode will focus on one to three hot-button topics in the culture or political sphere that the hosts dissect from their unique vantage point.

“Joining the Cumulus Podcast Network is a huge moment for Family Matters. We’re bringing unapologetically conservative, culturally aware, and authentically Black voices to the forefront — voices that have been ignored for far too long,” said host CJ Pearson. “This show is about faith, family, freedom, and fearless truth-telling. I’m proud to be part of a network that values bold ideas and real conversations, and I can’t wait to shake things up.”
“We’re proud to welcome Family Matters to the Cumulus Podcast Network. CJ brings a fresh, dynamic energy to our growing portfolio of personality-driven podcasts,” said Collin Jones, President, Westwood One and Cumulus Podcast Network. “His truly unique perspective adds depth, authenticity, and a powerful new dimension to our lineup, and we’re thrilled to partner with CJ to bring this content to market.”
New episodes drop Wednesdays and are available on major podcast platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts. As part of Westwood One’s portfolio, The Cumulus Podcast Network distributes, markets, and monetizes Family Matters exclusively with this new partnership.
