In this episode, I sit down with Aaron Daehler at the Iowa Pyrotechnics Association meeting for a deep dive into the fundamentals of pyrotechnics. We break down how black powder is made, how rockets are built, and why these core elements still matter in modern fireworks.

To close out the episode, I share an important industry update on the Supreme Court striking down the tariffs—what it means for fireworks professionals, suppliers, and the future of pyro in the U.S.

If you love understanding how fireworks actually work and want to stay informed on the issues shaping our industry, this one’s for you.
