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.

SpaceX Boom or Bust & the Billion-Dollar Oops (Jan 17 24)
Wednesday Jan 17, 2024
Wednesday Jan 17, 2024
This week on Late For Changeover, we’re juggling SpaceX wins and fails like Elon himself—because sometimes rockets fly, and sometimes they flambé. Also, salute to Miss Colorado, who just made history as the first active-duty service member to wear the Miss America crown. That tiara? Regulation approved, probably. Meanwhile, China’s Gravity-1 rocket breaks records, and we ask the obvious question: are we still winning the space race, or just scrolling through it on a space news podcast?
Back on Earth, the Pentagon “misplaces” over a billion dollars in military aid to Ukraine (classic), the first Army NCOs get autopromoted for finishing recruiting school (press F to rank up), and the service academies are suddenly big on talking about oaths and the Constitution—again. From SpaceX news to News for Vets, this episode’s got orbital energy and ground-level absurdity in equal measure.
