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’s episode is an absolute blast—literally. Donnie and David bring the heat with a powerhouse listener round table stacked with some of the best pyrotechnicians in the country. From behind-the-scenes stories to hard-earned lessons in the field, this one is packed with energy, insight, and a whole lot of firepower.
Special guest Tim Jameson from IPC joins the crew to talk all things PyroJam, dropping insider stories and industry gems you won’t hear anywhere else. The lineup doesn’t stop there—fresh off his 2026 ProAm Championship win at Elevate, Travis Kramer brings the champion’s perspective, while Jon Mauck shares his experience representing KCAP at the Missouri Showdown.
Rising talent Jacob Pierce, gearing up for the 2026 SkyWars ProAm, jumps into the mix alongside 2025 SkyWars Pro Champion John Mikrut, delivering a dynamic look at both sides of the competitive scene. Rounding things out, KCAP members Sean and Curtis add even more personality, laughs, and real-world pyro talk to the conversation.
If you love fireworks, competition, and the stories behind the sparks, this episode is one you don’t want to miss.
