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.

This week on Late For Changeover, the crew asks the hard-hitting question: can an Army First Sergeant throw a Super Bowl party in a war zone and still make formation the next morning? (Spoiler: probably, but you’ll regret asking.) We then pivot to Trump’s take on the Iron Dome—because nothing says “strategic defense” like naming it after a Marvel sequel—and dig into the VA’s ongoing love affair with handing out pills like it's a post-deployment candy buffet.
The episode takes a darker turn as we look at the real cost of overmedication for veterans, with a disturbing deep dive into the VA’s prescription of opioids and benzos—and the higher mortality rates that come with it. On a brighter note (kinda), Fort Bragg is back in the headlines, and we revisit Operation Homecoming, the 1973 POW return that had more feels than a reunion episode of Band of Brothers. If you're into News for Vets, military chaos, and darkly funny takes on defense policy, consider this your weekly dose of unfiltered truth (hold the benzos).
