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.

Talon Takes Flight, and a D-Day “I Do” (Mar 13 24)

This week on Late For Changeover, we’re flying high and digging deep—literally and figuratively. We break down the ORBITS Act (yes, Congress finally remembered space exists), and Stratolaunch’s hypersonic Talon does its first powered flight. It’s a big flex in the space flight podcast world and a reminder that Mach-whatever is back on the menu. So if you like your space podcasts with a side of supersonic chaos, pull up a seat.
Meanwhile, over in the real world, 1,000 U.S. troops are setting up shop off Gaza for temporary port ops, proving once again we can deploy a floating logistics hub faster than the DMV can schedule an appointment. Also: a WWII vet is tying the knot on the beaches of Normandy like it’s 1944 and love just landed on Omaha. We wrap by saluting the day George Patton leveled up to Lieutenant General in 1943—because no one ever accused that guy of subtlety. It’s News for Vets, hypersonic nerds, and anyone who thinks logistics is sexy.
