From James bond's Aston Martin DB5 to POTUS' Beast, cars have always played a role in the fictional, and indeed real, world of secret intelligence, national security and particularly armed governmental close protection operations. Therefore, this week's episode of the Black Spy podcast is in perfect Einklang with the show's genre.
Carlton discusses the significance of the internal combustion engine in the often rarefied world of geo-politics and secret operations with this week's guest, Ross Tremain.
Listeners learn of Ross Tremain's life journey and the competing family influences that finally lead him into the world of classic cars, a world in which Ross grew into a well known and respected dealer who is now no stranger to TV automotive shows and print media articles. Known for his extensive knowledge in the field, Ross provides listeners with excellent learning points, interesting anecdotes and surprising connections to the secret world. As Ross says in discussion with Carlton, it’s well known that there are only 'six degrees of separation'! Therefore, once again, this week's Black Spy podcast has the lot, petrol heads, and aficionados of secret world, will both to be enthralled and enlightened.

Previous Episode
A Life of Secrets and Strife with Colonel Cummings
In this episode of The Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King explores the life and times of African American female, retired US Army Colonel, E. W. Cummings.
Listeners learn that from her earliest memories Colonel Cummings was imbibed into the covenant of official secrets.
Colonel Cummings' father, an elite soldier (82nd Airborne), undertook three tours of Vietnam; returning from his last, "more dead than alive".
So years later after gaining a degree from University, it was no surprise when Colonel Cummings followed in her heroic father's foot steps and joined the US military as an Army officer. After all, she believed that the desegregated US military would offer a black person the best chance of progression in the racially charged America of the 60's and 70's.
However, once in the military Colonel Cummings found that it was her gender that appeared to place the greatest barriers to her achieving a successful career.
Nevertheless, she explains how some well placed white male officers helped unlock her latent potential, allowing her to grow into an excellent officer and leader.
We also learn that Colonel Cummings undertook an array of sensitive deployments both in the military and after her retirement, fostering and leading emergency homeland security
liaison, between the military, the FBI and various other Federal Agencies.
Finally, in this amazing interview, we learn of Colonel Cummings' nigh on single handed endeavour to get a congressional gold medal, awarded to the segregated 6888 unit of black female soldiers that saw active duty in Europe, during in WW2. Unfortunately, due to the racist politics of the day, the actions of 6888 were never recognised. So Colonel Cumming wishes to belatedly rectify this, taking the battle for recognition to the US Senate and the House of Representatives.
This is truly another fantastic Black Spy interview from which we all can learn.

From Life With The Queen Mother to Selling Gold with Jayne Bond
In the week's episode of the Black Spy Podcast, Carlton discusses the incredible life of Jayne Bond, a woman who was born into difficult circumstances on an Ipswich council estate (somewhat akin to the projects in the USA), but would end up with her fingers in many pies, from gold to diamonds, jewellery, to promotions, mental health charities to the British Football Association.
Listeners also learn how Jayne first worked for the British Royal family at the Queen Mother's residence – Clarence House, before, through a series of incredible twists and turns, embarking on a career in buying and selling Jewellery.
Using her innate capacity to simply 'make things happen and an ability to learn and meet challenges head on in a man's industry, Jayne nevertheless became an accomplished and profitable buyer.
In the course of their discussion, listeners will later hear how Jayne diversified into gold and diamonds and the effect that 9/11 had on the gold trade.
During their sit down, Carlton also discusses the connection between the secret world, regular crime and the utility of diamonds and gold as the ultimate materials of barter and store of wealth.
If you ever wanted to know how a women of little means can break into an old fashioned 'jobs for the boys' world, this is the episode to listen to.
In short, this week's Black Spy Podcast is a great example to any person who wishes to achieve a goal, that in the first instance they don't appear 'qualified' for, but know in their heart that they can undertake.
Jayne Bond - Diamonds and Gold – is simply another entertaining, intriguing and motivating must listen Black Spy Podcast episode.
