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.

Artemis, Alaska, and the Army’s Missing Lunch Money (Feb 19 25)

This week on Late For Changeover, we break down why the current Artemis 3 moon landing plan is starting to look like a NASA-powered gamble with a lunar jackpot—or a cosmic faceplant. From moon boots to frostbite, we then head to Alaska where military rescue teams spent January in full chaos mode, proving once again that “no-fail mission” is code for “hope your snowmobile starts.”
Meanwhile, the Army swipes $151 million in BAS funds from soldiers and doesn’t even use it for food. (That’s right—less chow, same PT standards.) Over in the Navy, SEALs continue training in some of the worst water this side of a Taco Bell bathroom, and we finish strong with a deep dive into the start of the Battle of Iwo Jima—because no episode’s complete without a nod to gritty, boots-on-the-ground history. Whether you’re into space risk, rescue ops, or just military bureaucracy gone wild, this one’s for you. It’s a space podcast, a News for Vets roundup, and your favorite irreverent briefing all rolled into one.
