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.

Buckle up, buttercup—this week the Late Crew takes a sarcastic stroll through the Pentagon's most recent "great ideas" and military headlines you won’t hear on your average space podcast or NPR snoozefest. First up: meet Lt Gen Dan "No Relation to Dean" Cain, a top contender for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, whose name sounds like he was born to kick doors in. Then it’s a quick dip into the soggy heroics of the Kentucky National Guard, who airlifted nearly 300 folks out of a flood with the calm of seasoned pros and the urgency of a Friday liberty call.
The gang also unpacks why troops bringing families to South Korea are getting a longer stay (guess who’s not thrilled?), plus why Trump’s still beefing with Boeing over Air Force One like it’s a particularly petty divorce. Finally, we rewind to the USS Monitor’s Civil War commissioning—because nothing says “military innovation” like an ironclad that looked like a floating hatbox. It's all here: leadership drama, heroic lift-offs (sadly, not SpaceX), and enough insider banter to qualify as unofficial News for Vets.
