It never is. One Bite is Everything explores the people, practices, policies, and power that shape what's on your plate. Through 150+ conversations with farmers, chefs, scientists, historians, and policy thinkers, each episode pulls back the curtain on a food system most of us navigate without really understanding. Real stories, real stakes, no lectures. These conversations don't stop at your headphones. They ripple outward through the For Farmers Movement, a weekly letter, and a community of eaters who are connecting more deeply with the farmers who make their food possible. One Bite is Everything airs every Thursday.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T20:19:30.211269+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-bite-is-everything-354028"},"episode":{"title":"Bringing Back the Bison: David Wise of Native Wise","slug":"bringing-back-the-bison-david-wise-of-native-wise","published_at":"2026-07-09T09:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-bite-is-everything-354028/bringing-back-the-bison-david-wise-of-native-wise","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-bite-is-everything-354028","url":"https://www.onebiteiseverything.com/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/0adc490a-5cdc-42c5-951a-4675053c0469.mp3","summary":"David Wise grew up on the Fond du Lac Reservation in Minnesota, where food followed the seasons and knowledge of the land was woven into daily life. Today, as the founder of Native Wise, he raises bison, harvests manoomin, or wild rice, and produces maple sugar, maple syrup, and honey. But his path to this work was anything but straightforward. In this episode, David joins host Dana DiPrima to talk about growing up Ojibwe, the knowledge passed through his family, his years working in forestry, conservation, and with the USDA, and the extraordinary story behind bringing bison back to his family ranch. They talk about the cultural and ecological importance of manoomin, why naturally growing wild rice is so dependent on clean water and healthy ecosystems, and what is lost when communities are separated from traditional foods. David also shares the practical realities of building Native Wise today, from growing a bison herd and creating markets to processing, supplying restaurants, and raising the next generation inside the work. It is a conversation about food, land, culture, community, and what it means to carry knowledge forward. It is also full of great stories, including a bull named Renegade, tipping canoes during wild rice harvest, and a truly staggering order for bison hot dogs.
