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.

General Petty’s War Stories & Tactical Brain Dumps (Mar 27 24)
Wednesday Mar 27, 2024
Wednesday Mar 27, 2024
This week, we’re joined by Brigadier General (Ret.) Chris Petty—Army Aviator, NATO Commander, National Guard lifer, and a man who’s probably forgotten more about warfare than most of us ever learned. From flying over Iraq to commanding in Bosnia, Gen. Petty brings decades of insight, dark humor, and a tactical brain that could outmaneuver a GPS. We also dig into his site BattleDigest.com and his book “12 Battles Every American Should Know,” because knowing your history should involve more cannons and fewer textbooks.
Then we go bayonet-deep into the Battle of Shiloh, a Civil War meat grinder that makes modern warfare look like laser tag. This episode’s light on space podcasts talk but heavy on News for Vets, battlefield insights, and military grit. So whether you're here for a space force podcast or just like your war stories with a side of sarcasm, you're in the right AO.
