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

Starliner’s Delay & the Air Force’s New PowerPoint Series (Aug 7 24)

This week on Late For Changeover, the crew gets Olympic-level patriotic as we spotlight military athletes repping the U.S. in the Games—because who else can throw javelins and fix a Humvee in the same day? Then we head back to orbit, where NASA may delay the Crew-9 mission while they figure out how to get the Starliner astronauts back home without duct tape and prayers. It’s a big week in the space news podcast world—because astronauts, like junior enlisted, just want a confirmed ride home.
Back on solid ground, the Air Force launches new “Foundations” courses aimed at enlisted leadership development—because PowerPoint hasn’t finished its reign of terror just yet. Finally, we reflect on two somber anniversaries: the downing of Extortion 17 in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011, and the Hiroshima bombing on August 6, 1945—two moments that shaped military history in ways we’re still reckoning with. It’s grit, grief, leadership, launch delays, and a whole lot of News for Vets with the kind of commentary you won’t find on NPR.
