Late For Changeover is the podcast for anyone who’s ever rolled into guard mount a few minutes late but still got the job done—with a story to tell. Hosted by veterans Marty Smith, Eric “Mr. History” Piarrot, Jake Wall, Ana Mondragon, and rotating guests, this weekly show blends military humor, historical deep dives, space-force-level absurdity, and off-the-rails banter. It’s smart, sharp, and just unhinged enough to keep you coming back. From billion-dollar rocket launches to confederate statue debates, every episode serves up irreverent takes from people who’ve been there, done that, and still remember their shift-change stories. ”Swearing In” is a special interview series from Late For Changeover that explores the moment everything changed: the decision to raise your right hand. Through intimate, one-on-one conversations, each episode dives into the personal stories behind enlistment, capturing the motivations, fears, and defining moments that led individuals to military service. From first-generation soldiers to second-chance enlistees, Swearing In honors the deeply human side of the uniform, offering listeners a raw, reflective look at where the journey really begins. Late For Changeover isn’t just jokes and jargon. Beneath the laughs are reflections on identity, transition, leadership, and what it means to serve—and then move on. Whether you’re a vet, an active-duty listener, or just someone who loves to laugh at acronyms and unpack the weirdness of bureaucracy, you’ll feel right at home. No branch is spared, no topic is off limits, and no one escapes a roast—especially the hosts. Hit subscribe, and join the formation. Just don’t be late.

Custer’s Ghost, Starshield & the Great Astronaut Quiz Debacle (Oct 11 23)

This week on Late For Changeover, we dig up the ghost of LTC Custer and his awkward posthumous cameo at West Point—because nothing says "legacy" like getting re-buried by committee. Then it's time to update your space playbook: Space Force officially takes over the JTAGS mission from the Army, because nothing says “modern warfare” like tracking missiles from orbit while drinking high-altitude coffee. Oh, and SpaceX scored a shiny new Starshield contract, so cue the SpaceX news klaxon.
We also break down Defender Challenge and Defender Flag 2023, where Security Forces get sweaty and competitive in ways HR probably doesn’t approve of. Plus, the Army just dropped a new MOS—42T, for all you future recruiting warriors. And finally, the crew takes an astronaut quiz and proves once and for all that we’re better at orbiting sarcasm than actual science. If you're into space podcasts, Space Force news, or News for Vets with a side of dark humor and trivia fails, this one’s mission-ready.
