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, the crew asks the question every American over 30 has a weirdly vivid answer to: “Where were you on 9/11?”—and somehow, they still make it funny without getting court-martialed. From there, we coast into the stratosphere with Boeing’s Starliner landing safely in New Mexico, marking another win for astronaut news and anyone still rooting for Team Not-Crash-And-Burn.
Meanwhile, back on Earth: the VA might fumble vets’ benefits checks (again), the Army just dropped a cool billion on Switchblade drones (aka portable chaos), and the Navy’s hitting its recruiting goals thanks to some shockingly clever programs. Also—history break! We time-travel to 1813 for the Battle of Lake Erie, where ships were wooden, cannons were loud, and tactical drama was real. Oh, and the Navy’s about to deploy its first fully coed submarine crew. Let’s see how long it takes for that to become a Netflix docuseries.
It’s military culture meets space travel podcast meets “Did they really just say that?”—and it’s still somehow the best podcast about space and veterans you’re not listening to yet.
