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.

Don’t Thank Me—Just Give Me a Spaceplane (Nov 15 23)

This week on Late For Changeover, we dig into the Battle of Ia Drang—the 1965 clash that put air cavalry on the map and taught everyone that helicopters make terrible getaway vehicles. Then we fast-forward to the future, where Lockheed Martin just got handed $33.7 million to cook up a nuclear-powered spacecraft. Somewhere, a space force podcast host just fainted with joy.
Also on deck: the mysterious X-37B space plane is heading back to orbit (probably to do top-secret alien stuff), the B-21 Raider flexes its stealth in a historic first flight, and the VA finally rolls out free healthcare for WWII veterans—only took 80 years, but who’s counting? Oh, and we also explore why most service members would rather be hit by indirect fire than hear, “Thank you for your service.” It’s News for Vets with a side of orbital weirdness, just how you like it.
