In this episode of Pyro Talk, Jason sits down with Nebraska Chad and Brian Schwinck from the Midlands Pyrotechnic Association to talk about what really keeps the fireworks community alive: clubs, camaraderie, and a shared love of the craft. From building fireworks and learning the ropes to shooting shows and mentoring the next generation, this conversation dives into why pyro clubs matter now more than ever.The discussion also takes a heartfelt turn as the group reflects on the legacy of Dave Earl—remembering his impact, his passion for fireworks, and the way strong clubs carry forward the people who shaped them. It’s an episode about fire, friendship, and the family that forms when you stand shoulder-to-shoulder on the firing line.Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or just pyro-curious, this one is a reminder of why we do what we do—and who we do it with.DEALS 10% off of MuuxBRD order using code PT10. https://muuxBRD.com/Get 10% off Pyro Vault by using the code PYROTALK at signup—https://pyrovaultapp.comLuxeSFX.com Check out the brand new flame machines!Pyrotool.com PTALKPOD for 10% off!Need MJG Igniters?
