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. And be sure to join the fun on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrzPMzqLMg05QK9B2tpO4NA

In this week’s slightly-later-than-scheduled formation, the Late Crew breaks down the SpaceX Crew-9 Dragon’s return to Earth—and yes, we’re still calling it one of the coolest ways to clock out (03:54). We dive into the latest drama in Space Force news as Congress dusts off the idea of a Space National Guard, proving that bipartisanship is still possible—at least in orbit (14:39).
Then, we get into the bizarre decision to strip race and gender references from Arlington’s cemetery website—because apparently, whitewashing history is still a thing in 2025 (28:31). Miss USA and Army 1st Lt. Alma Cooper gives us some actual hope, after inspiring 4,000+ California students with a blend of pageantry, purpose, and boots-on-the-ground badassery (47:38). And finally, we rewind to the dark origin of the War Relocation Authority, created on March 18, 1942—because not all history deserves a “like” (54:27).
Whether you're here for space podcasts, news for vets, or just vibing with one of the best space podcasts led by actual Air Force and Space Force veterans, this one checks all the boxes.
