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!
This week on Pyro Unleashed, David recounts his first experience at Western Winter Blast, where he witnessed the first ever 100% AI-scripted show. Donnie provides an update on his upcoming vacation to Valencia, Spain, for the annual Las Fallas celebration.

The Pyrotechnics Guild International Convention is headed to Kaukauna, Wisconsin this August, and the Midwest pyro community is getting ready to Ignite the Sky. In this episode of Pyro Talk, I sit down with PGI leadership to talk about what makes the PGI convention one of the most unique events in the fireworks world—and why 2026 is the year Midwest pyros have no excuse not to go.
We break down what attendees can expect at Ignite the Sky in Kaukauna: massive night shows, open shooting opportunities, competitions, seminars, hands-on learning, and a full week surrounded by thousands of people who love fireworks as much as you do. Whether you're a professional shooter, a passionate hobbyist, or someone who simply wants to see some of the best fireworks in the world, PGI offers experiences you won’t find anywhere else.
We also talk about why Kaukauna is such a great host city and why pyros from Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, and across the Midwest should start planning their road trip now.
