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 welcome retired Air Force Major Ana Mondragon to help us unpack another round of military madness—starting with NASA’s latest moonshot: giving astronauts the ability to drink their own pee. Science is wild, folks. Meanwhile, troops can now cash in on economic hardship for the whopping bonus of $20 a month. That’s right—two crumpled Hamiltons to offset inflation. Try not to spend it all on one energy drink.
We also break down the true cost of PCS moves (spoiler: it’s your sanity), the heartbreak of military families overseas potentially not being able to ship their dogs home (cue the rage), and we wrap with a hard-hitting look at the Battle of Fire Base Ripcord—one of Vietnam’s bloodiest, least-known showdowns. From astronaut news to bonus pay that barely buys gas, this episode delivers real talk, real history, and real reasons to laugh through the dysfunction. It’s News for Vets with a space podcast edge and zero sugarcoating.
