This week on Late For Changeover, we sit down with Marine Corps veteran and stand-up comic Mel Austin—because who better to roast military bureaucracy than someone who’s lived it and then mic-dropped it on stage? Mel brings the fire from the front lines to the punchline with Laughing 2 Success Entertainment, and trust us, it’s funnier than your last safety brief.

Meanwhile, the Air Force disciplines 15 airmen over the Jack Teixeira leak scandal (OPSEC: still a thing), starts tracking why recruits ghost before they even ship, and we uncover how the VA managed to hire 1,800 health care workers with felony drug convictions. Sprinkle in a nod to Chuck Yeager’s Mach 2.44 flex back in 1953, and you've got a full-spectrum dose of News for Vets, space-adjacent history, and gallows humor. This isn’t your average space podcast—but it should be your favorite.
