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, it’s a full-blown orbital throwdown as three aerospace giants go head-to-head for the Pentagon’s space launch contracts. Think of it as The Bachelor, but with fewer roses and more classified payloads. Then DARPA shows up like the mad scientist it is, dropping six new VTOL drone designs that look like they were sketched during a fever dream in a Top Gun barfight.
But it’s not all rockets and rotorcraft—we also call out military transition programs for doing a C-minus job helping vets find civilian gigs (you can’t just slap “leadership skills” on a résumé and walk away, folks). Plus, we play the Space Movie Game—where the trivia is questionable and the arguments are personal—and take a stroll through the start of the War of 1812, because you can’t spell “freedom” without historical naval beef. If you like space podcasts with a side of chaos and News for Vets, you’re in the right AO.
