Pyro Podcast
The sparks are flying for this illuminating podcast that pulls back the curtain on the explosive fireworks industry. From fuses to firepower, the show lights up the behind-the-scenes world of pyrotechnics. The Pyro Unleashed Podcast is a podcast about the people behind fireworks. We interview importers, manufacturers, retailers, scripters, and industry professionals. This podcast is for anyone who loves fireworks, so join us to unleash your inner pyro!
As Season 3 comes to end in this final episode, Donnie and David continue their Women in Pyro mini-series. This week, Pyro Katie joins the podcast to discuss her journey in all aspects of pyro. She began her journey in fire dancing and discovered a passion for fireworks along the way.
Katie shares her experiences as a woman in the industry and the challenges she has encountered. One of the most significant challenges she faced was when she was looks for sing-offs to get a pyro license and was told, “We aren’t hiring any women right now.” This fueled her determination to become a successful pyro.
