Introducing The Talking Stick Podcast

“CAHM Productions presents The Talking Stick, your home for everything Westside Warrior sports — from the gridiron to the hardwood, the track to the diamond, and everywhere in between. Each episode we’ll shine a spotlight on the student-athletes, coaches, faculty, staff, and community that make being a Westside Warrior special.Now, you might be wondering — why The Talking Stick? The name comes from an old Native American tradition. Many tribes, especially in the Plains and Pacific Northwest, used a beautifully crafted stick during council meetings. The rule was simple — the person holding the stick had the floor. Everyone else listened. It was a way to ensure respect, patience, and the sharing of ideas without interruption. The talking stick wasn’t just a piece of wood — it was a symbol of unity, of hearing every voice in the circle.Here at The Talking Stick, we’re bringing that same spirit to Westside sports. This is a space where every athlete, coach, and fan gets their turn to speak. We’ll tell the stories behind the scores, highlight the moments you don’t see in the box score, and give the Westside community a voice that’s heard far and wide.So grab your seat in the circle — and let’s pass the talking stick.”
