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.

ISS Evac Drills, F-16 Fails & the Ghosts of Black Week (Oct 30 24)

This week on Late For Changeover, the crew breaks down the high-stakes moment astronauts on the ISS prepped for an emergency evac—because nothing says “happy orbiting” like the phrase abandon ship. We also salute a Marine in the Philippines who took “flexing on the water” to a new level by sinking a boat with a Stinger missile—which is definitely not what that thing was designed for, but hey, it worked.
Meanwhile, the Air Force racks up a $30 million oops after a parked F-16 ends up looking like it lost a bar fight, we swap spooky military ghost stories just in time for your next barracks campfire, and we dig into the brutal WWII saga of B-29 “Black Week” in October 1943. It’s a full-spectrum ride: orbital drama, missile mayhem, financial disasters, flying ghosts, and war history—aka your one-stop shop for space news podcast vibes and News for Vets with way more edge than NPR could handle.
