Welburn; sports journalist and host Stephen A. Smith; actor and comedian Wayne Brady; and, soul singer, songwriter Bettye Lavette.  Madison will also have health experts on the show, including SiriusXM Doctor Radio Medical Director Dr. Marc Siegel, to discuss key health concerns of the African American community.
