Hosts: Johnny Starr and Ron the Banker

The fireworks industry is facing a significant challenge due to the tariffs currently imposed on our products. These tariffs threaten our businesses, livelihoods, and the long-standing traditions we work hard to uphold. To ensure the future of our industry, we must take action.

The National Fireworks Association (NFA), alongside the American Pyrotechnicians Association (APA), has taken steps to advocate for our industry. It’s been a few days since the administration announced substantially increased tariffs on all products made in China and this episode we talk to Stacy and Steve from the NFA to find out more.
