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, we sit down with Marine Corps veteran and stand-up comic Mel Austin—because who better to roast military bureaucracy than someone who’s lived it and then mic-dropped it on stage? Mel brings the fire from the front lines to the punchline with Laughing 2 Success Entertainment, and trust us, it’s funnier than your last safety brief.
Meanwhile, the Air Force disciplines 15 airmen over the Jack Teixeira leak scandal (OPSEC: still a thing), starts tracking why recruits ghost before they even ship, and we uncover how the VA managed to hire 1,800 health care workers with felony drug convictions. Sprinkle in a nod to Chuck Yeager’s Mach 2.44 flex back in 1953, and you've got a full-spectrum dose of News for Vets, space-adjacent history, and gallows humor. This isn’t your average space podcast—but it should be your favorite.
