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’re unleashing the untold tales of fur missiles, base mascots, and the four-legged chaos that made life in uniform just a little less soul-crushing. From guard dogs with PTSD to Marines rescuing iguanas from airstrikes, we dig into the pet stories that didn’t make it into the official unit history.
Then it’s a hard pivot into full-on tactical geekery: Millennium Space pockets a $414 million contract to track missiles from orbit (casual flex), DARPA’s building an underwater robo-stingray named Manta Ray (of course they are), and the Navy’s tossing drones into the ocean to see what happens. Meanwhile, the Coast Guard just dropped a casual $185M in seized narcotics like it’s Spring Cleaning Week, and an Air Force pararescue team pulls off the most elite cruise ship rescue since... ever. We even dig into the SS Mayaguez incident because Cold War drama never goes out of style.
From space podcasts and Space Force news to stories that would make even a jaded vet say “WTF?”, this is your go-to space force podcast for chaos, caffeine, and camaraderie.
