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 honor the 40th anniversary of the Beirut bombing that took 241 American service members—a sobering reminder of the cost of service and the power of remembrance. Then, in true military fashion, we launch into the chaos: SpaceX news as they sling 23 Starlink satellites into orbit in one day (because 22 just wouldn’t cut it), and Space Force unveils its plan to call in commercial backup during a crisis—Uber, but for orbital warfare.
But wait, there's more: The Air Force’s only active-duty tugboat gets its time in the spotlight (cue the Top Gun theme on a foghorn), and we break down the “space spa” restroom aboard high-altitude balloon flights for tourists who want to pee with a view. Oh—and a Marine mom is running one hundred 100-mile ultra races because clearly, sleep is optional. If you're looking for space podcasts with a tactical edge and News for Vets with a side of disbelief, this episode hits escape velocity.
