EP 6 — DERRICK & HAILEE MILLER

🎙️ Episode Six is live. They Build the Boom.

Dad works in the pyrotechnics shop until midnight. Daughter choreographs the sky. Together they produce North Dakota’s largest fireworks display, and it all happens in a shop in Sawyer.

Derrick Miller started Mum Pyrotechnics in 2008 with two friends. The first year they expected 200 people. Around 2,000 showed up. Sixteen years later they’re lighting up Minot’s Fourth of July with 1,200 individual firing points and effects nobody in North Dakota has ever seen before.

Hailee Miller, 21, is the primary choreographer. She selects the music, designs every single shot, builds the shells herself, and then watches her vision light up the sky. This is what it looks like when a family decides to make something beautiful and dangerous and entirely their own.

Christine Staley & Corey Long sat down with Derrick and Hailee and what came out of that conversation is pure passion, pure craft, and pure North Dakota grit.

EP 5 — JOSH WOLSKI

🎙️ Episode Five is live. The Man Who Gave Minot a Voice.

He went from caddying in South Carolina to reforming Minot’s city council from 15 members down to seven. He built the Minot Voice when local media started disappearing. He launched Savor Minot so you’d never miss what’s happening right outside your door. And this Thursday he’s opening a free summer concert series at Citizens Alley right around the corner from where we’re sitting.

Christine Staley & Corey Long sat down with Josh Wolski and what came out of that conversation is everything this podcast was made for.

Josh has been one of the quietest and most consequential builders of downtown Minot’s future. This is his story in his own words, and Minot deserves to hear it.
