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.

Space Force Drip, Army Draft Talk & the $9.7M Oopsie (Oct 4 23)

This week on Late For Changeover, we rewind to Operation Gothic Serpent—the mission behind Black Hawk Down—and unpack how it shaped modern military operations (and Hollywood's understanding of them). Meanwhile, the Space Force is handing out its first-ever Good Conduct Medal, which is probably just a silver rocket for not making memes in uniform. They're also entering the final phase of uniform testing, which means we're this close to seeing Guardians cosplay as Star Trek extras full-time.
We salute NASA’s Frank Rubio for setting a new U.S. space record, chat about Ukraine’s new database that can apparently track every single American weapon faster than the Pentagon can track anything, and break down how the VA accidentally gave $9.7 million in bonuses to the wrong execs—because of course they did. Oh, and just a heads-up: the Army’s thinking about raising a force for large-scale conflict again. So, like… maybe keep that go-bag packed. It’s News for Vets, space podcast vibes, and military madness wrapped in one glorious episode.
