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.

The Pentagon Can’t Count and Robots Smell Bombs (Nov 20 24)
Tuesday Nov 19, 2024
Tuesday Nov 19, 2024
This week on Late For Changeover, we’re talking robot arms in space, sniffing out nukes, and the Pentagon’s legendary streak of failing audits like it’s going for gold in financial incompetence. Northrop Grumman is gearing up to launch a satellite repair robot with actual arms in 2026—so basically WALL-E meets Top Secret Clearance. Meanwhile, the Space Force has deployed a robot that can literally smell nuclear material. We’re not saying Skynet is real… but maybe keep an eye on your Roomba.
We also salute a badass Air Force captain who just became the first woman in service history to receive the Silver Star, then roast the Pentagon for failing its seventh audit in a row. (Honestly, at this point, we’re just impressed by the consistency.) And to wrap it all up, we throw it back to 1863 with President Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address—because even after 160 years, you can’t beat brevity, battlefield speeches, and four score-level shade. This is the space force podcast that blends tactical tech, historical hot takes, and News for Vets you actually want to hear.
