We learn that the NHS could do nothing for Samantha, but to treat her as a terminal case. So it was, that on her own back, she researched and found that only two surgeons in the world could save her life. As both surgeons were in America and she was not a wealth women, Sam had to try to raise half a million pounds to save her life. Listeners will hear how she achieved this, not only once, but twice!

This season also saw the return of Big Mike Kilgannon. Mike's appearance with Carlton will provide listeners with a fantastic understanding of the new fiscal finance systems and technical processes. It's a great listen. This new technical order was also evident in Carlton's discussion with Doctor Suhel Ahmed who futuristically was dragging the NHS into a technological patient focused doctor/patient interface.

His exciting life was covered in great detail and is a must listen for any would be Air Force recruit, military enthusiast or just those with all round general interests.

The Black Spy Podcast Season 4, Episode 0002 Is Britain's National Health Service (NHS) at breaking point? Is digital, AI and machine learning the way to make the NHS a preventative, rather than reactive, service? The Black Spy sits down with Dr Suhel Ahmed to answer these questions. This week's episode attempts to answer the above questions concerning the UK's NHS, which is factually of interest to every British citizen and anyone who seeks primary medical attention in the UK. This golden fleece of public health and society, is now under tremendous pressure and threat posts its initial success over the last 70 years. In addition to touching on Dr. Ahmed early life as a youth in a poor working class family, of South Asian heritage, living in a lower class neighbourhood of a tough northern mill town, the Black spy learns how Suhel discovered his latent innate educational talent. Listeners learn how Suhel gains access to a prestigious school and knuckles down to study, setting his sights on becoming a medic. Budding doctors will listen with interest as to how medics choose their direction and role within the medical profession in Britain. Many listeners will also no doubt be surprised at the level of privatisation that already exists in the NHS for General Practitioners (GPs). The discussion also touches on the dire straits of NHS waiting lists, the time takes to see a GP, and the less than perfect solution of continuing audio only doctors' telephone appointments, even post COVID. Finally, the last half of the show looks at the extremely interesting way forward for the NHS. What technology is presently available, where the NHS is going in the near future, questions regarding privatising the NHS, employment companies' responsibility for supporting their employees' health and learning where individuals can gain the tools to check their health for themselves by utilising apps and free health kiosk etc. Dr. Ahmed also speaks of the importance of health and personal data in assisting positive health outcomes. In short, this is another Black Spy Podcast that is not to be forepassed.

This week's Black Spy Podcast is the end of season 3 round up. The Black Spy would like to thank all his guests in what was again an eclectic season. From the return of Jill, the straight talking no nonsense ex street drug worker, with her micro tough love advice for those unfortunate enough to be living with the addicted to the three macro giants of the global financial world, the Blockchain, Crypto, Fiat currency, Capitalism and the coming of the world's new financial order. We also gained great insight into the powerful entertainment industry from music, to TV, film to media as we learnt of one man's journey though these genres to find his niche in the production, script and the director's seat. The world of sport was also not forgotten, as the Black Spy spoke to professional boxer, of double knock out fame, Marcello Render. This episode touched on the good, the bad and the ugly of the fight game. The return of retired US Air Force Colonel, Edna Cumming, celebrated US Black History Month. At the time of the episode, Edna was close to finally winning her long overdue battle to gain recognition for the work undertaken by the 6888th during the Second World War. This segregated all Black female military unit was a postal battalion that served in the European theatre during war. However, due to racism the 6888th was overlooked by the country they served. However, due to the efforts of Colonel Cummings and colleagues, Congress passed a bill which was signed by President Byden into law this week. The 6888 are now receiving their long overdue Congressional recognition. The Black Spy Podcast also recognised another African American who had to fight for his and his people's right to be treated equally as well as to perform the art he loved - acting. So in episode one of season 3 the Black Spy said goodbye to the late great Sir Sydney Poitier. Finally in this season the Black Spy analysed two politicians and the potential grounds for their actions - President Vladimir Putin of Russia and Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Russian and Soviet history, the Cold War, Brexit, COVID 19 and Party gate. As usual in ending a season, the Black Spy listened to you, his listeners and answered some of your questions. So, keep listening, and see you in season 4.

PUTIN: Mad, Bad or Strategic? NATO, the EU, Russia and the Ukraine War Black Spy Podcast Season 3, Episode 0010 The Black Spy answers your questions concerning Russia and President Putin's invasion of the Ukraine. Will there be a nuclear war? Why has Russia invaded the Ukraine? Is Putin's army committing war crimes? Is this war more brutal than other current and past wars? What is Putin's aim, why has he attacked the Ukraine? Will Russia win the war? In this must hear podcast on a very current theme the black Spy uses all of his past and present secret Intelligence, national security and geo-political knowledge to provide listeners with a seldom heard strategic overview of this much featured conflict.

The Black Spy Podcast, Season 3, episode 0009 A remarkable portrait of health, wealth and corruption in the fight game. The Black Spy sits down with Marcello Renda as he explains how boxing saved, made and cheated him. Ever wondered what its like to be a prize fighter? Would you like to be punched in the face for a living? Do you have the drive, discipline and respect to properly consider the fight game. Why would anybody consider the boxing game at all? Cello Render lifts the lid and shines the light on the dark crevices of boxing promotion, officiating, financing and the politics of 'stable ' related boxing opportunities Once again in this episode, the Black Spy gets behind the glitz, glamour and potential wealth of a profession to dig in the weeds. On this occasion, it's the ancient gentleman's art of pugilism, which now, is also an art undertaken by an increasing number of ladies. This fascinating discussion looks at the boxing game from a personal and overall perspective.

In this episode of The Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King once again speaks to African American female, retired US Army Colonel, Edna W. Cummings. In honour of US Black History Month Listeners learn more of Colonel Edna Cummings' nigh on single handed endeavour to get a Congressional Gold Medal, awarded to the segregated 6888th battalion 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 6888th were never fully recognised. So, Colonel Cumming wishes to belatedly rectify this, taking the battle for recognition to the US Senate and the House of Representatives. In addition to discussing the 6888th, The Black Spy and Colonel Cummings analyse the concept of 'Race' and who decides who is a member of the so called 'Black' race. Racism and Blackness through history are discussed and whether there is always time based progression in terms of civil rights and gender bias. As Colonel Cummings puts it, "It's a history that has too long been hidden". This episode is truly another fantastic Black Spy Podcast interview from which we can all learn.

As previously mentioned we've all heard of illegal 'drugs', many have tried them, experimented, abused and even enjoyed them. Governments have prohibited and outlawed them, and made efforts second only to combatting terrorism to stem the tide of them. Yet once again today's guest, who dealt with the street consequences of drugs, be they prescribed or illegal, provides The consequences of drug addicted on families, drug education, drug legalisation, alcoholism, prescription drug abuse and street dealers vs Mr Big. a deep and thoughtful evaluation of how she sees the problem. Once again, in this episode, Jill doesn't attempt to hide or perfume events. As we said previously, Jill clarified: there was nothing fluffy about how I went about my activities as a drugs worker. We further discussed the street economics and entrepreneurial opportunities of street dealing. The bitter, nasty and remorseless violence that the drugs trade often brings is also dissected. Carlton also poses the question of the ethics of police action in the so called war on drugs with there seemingly being one rule for the poor and another for the rich, powerful and the well placed.

In this week's Black Spy Podcast Carlton King sits down with Liverpudlian, Peter Smith, one time wizz kid of the City of London investment banking world regarding his journey into realm of riches in the big smoke (London) and beyond. It's a story that becomes all the more fascinating as we learn that after becoming the youngest ever broker in the UK at barely 18 years of age, Peter is responsible for his own good fortune. After getting to know Peter, he and Carlton discuss where the real power lies in the world today. They explore the almost mythical role played by the City, Wall Street and the big banks and their equivalents in all societies and countries. The growth of fintech, the tech giants and the seemingly unending easy money that funds and drives many a questionable, as well as clearly 'positive', tech startups is also put under the microscope. Finally, the future of the markets are also discussed, where does Crypto et'al fit in? They also examine the obvious importance of 'the market' and banking to the secret world, terrorism, extremism and geopolitics and politicians including the petty or indeed major corruption of the political classes. As always, this episode of the Black Spy Podcast can only educate listeners as it delves into another aspect of life that is relatively unknown to those who do not inhabit its environs yet suffer real and sometime enormous consequences of the decision made within this realm.

The black arts of British politics, Boris Johnson, Covid regulations, immigration, Brexit & populism The Black Spy Podcast, Season 3, Episode 0002 Truth and Lies British politics in the Johnson era In this week's Black Spy Podcast we couldn't but concentrate on the black arts of British politics as the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, comes under sustained pressure for his disregard of the government's own Covid 19 regulations. It's also a week when policing decisions, secret intelligence provided by the British Security Service (MI5), and the actions of foreign actors from China and perhaps beyond, are drawn into this political minefield. Who is leaking the drip, drip feed of stories regarding the indiscretions of a hither to Teflon plated Prime Minister? Plus, the Prime Minister's Office, No10 Downing Street, seems hell bent on not keeping to the Covid 19 regulations that it has imposed on everybody else in the nation. The lackadaisical attitude of PM Boris Johnson has created a culture in government which manifests itself in a lack of attention to detail and a disregard for the truth. However, the propagation of a post Brexit Nirvana that is based on a mythical England (UK), now revamped in flag toting patriotic cynicism of blame; directed at the EU and immigrants, has given Boris a staggering degree latitude to manipulation the truth unchallenged. So, in this session, Carlton will also look at the make up of the British political system crowned by the Royals, a lack of a written constitution, the role of MPs, Ministers, Secretaries of State, The upper House of Lords, Ladies and clergy, foreign donors, political influencers, Civil Servants, SPADs and even the intelligence and Security Services, Police and the judiciary This is another must hear Black Spy Podcast that informs, entertains and allows listeners to contextualise the geo-politics of an era and a nation.

The Life and Times of Sydney Poitier The Black Spy Podcast, Season 3, Episode 0001 Sydney Poitier Special This week's Black Spy Podcast looks into the unbelievable career of Sydney Poitier and what he meant to people all over the world in a time when most Black people, globally, were second, if not third, class citizens. Trawling through listeners comments and Carlton's social media, Dan the man, asks Carlton why Mr. Poitier was so important in the history of cinema and the civil rights movement.

End of Season Two Review Black Spy Podcast, Season 2, episode 0011 Carlton King looks back at Season Two of his Black Spy Podcast. Carlton highlights the diversity of the topics covered by him during this season from, was former King of England Edward the 7th a Nazis sympathiser? To, was senior member of the British Royal family, and the last Vice Roy of British India, Lord Louis Mountbatten, a paedophile? Both subjects were discussed with historian, author and the world's no 1 literacy agent, Andrew Lownie, during his guest appearance on the podcast. The show also looks back a two guests who deal daily with the ravages of drug and alcohol abuse; prison Doctor, Tracy Hopwood who explains her decades long work in Britain's prison system and Drug worker, Jill, who's episode gets deep into the weeds of the everyday street reality of drug and alcohol abuse on regular family life. Carlton and Jill, also discussed the alleged drug abuse within Britain's present day government and contemporary political elite; noting how society differentiates between the drug use of Britain's different social classes as regards police enforcement and societal acceptance. Another switch in emphasis was the great discussion with Hollywood and Hong Kong Kung Fu actor Winston Ellis. Winston, a three times world martial arts champion explained his incredible journey into the acting profession; including how he obtained a coveted role in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise starring Johnny Depp. What a guest! Another really powerful episode dealt with gambling, or as guest Carl put it, the gaming industry. Carl, explained how he entered the industry in which, as he put it, gave him a good life. However, Carl was keen to leave listeners with no doubt that the industry always wins! Noting the now, all pervasive aspect of gambling in our daily lives, Carl provided his email to listeners at the end his discussion with Carlton. Carl wished to offer assistance to anyone who might be addicted to the industries multitude of present day offerings. Looking back over this season we also brought a 'Windrush Special' to listeners. In this must hear episode, Carlton spoke to several 95 year old West Indian women who were children of the British Empire. Listeners learn how for 400 years they were British citizens and through their early lives believed they were no different than any other Brit. We hear of the women's arrival from the Caribbean in the late 1940's early 1950's in what they universally called 'the Mother Country' - England. We hear of the old ladies bewilderment when regular British people didn't see them as fellow Brits, even though, at the same time they had more racial freedom in Britain than in their Caribbean homelands. Most, if not all British Caribbean colonies had in place a quasi-apartheid system, with White Caribbean citizens or British expatriates at the top of society and Blacks at the bottom, with mixed race citizens somewhere in the middle with Indians and other imperial subjects. This season also saw the great interview with author and firearms armourer, Did's Hall. This episode dug deep into the issue of arming the British police, the difference between armed and non armed policing and the frankly surprising Hollywood shooting incident concerning the well known Hollywood 'A' list actor, Alex Baldwin. Throughout every episode Carlton always made the connection between the regular world and the secret world of intelligence, national security, armed governmental close protection operations and geo-politics. To this end Carlton had an awesome sit down with veteran BBC reporter, ITV World in Action presenter and stalwart BBC flagship geopolitical investigative prime time programme presenter and producer of Panorama, John Ware. This full blown deep dive into the secret world of agents and intelligence gathering surrounding the Northern Ireland conflict, as well as John's actions in getting MI5 senior officer, Peter Wright's memoir "Spycatcher" published, was fascinating. This was a truly great episode. However, for those seeking an even greater view into the real clandestine world of terrorism, surveillance, secret intelligence, national security and armed governmental personal protection operations, the two last episodes of this season fully delivered. These episodes delved deep into the little known secret world of Scotland Yard's Special Branch during Carlton sit down with ex Detective Inspector, Bob Pugh. Bob spent 35 years in MPSB (the Metropolitan Police Special Branch) headquartered at the world famous Scotland Yard. 'The Branch', Britain's Secret Police which was disbanded in 2006, had performed this national security role for more than 125 years, prior to it being disbanded, so Carlton and Bob, who were both long term senior members of The Branch, had much to discuss. For any person with an interest in the clandestine world of spies and spy catchers Bob episodes are an unbelievable must listen experience. This overv

'The Branch' (Part 2) Season 2, Episode 0010 DI Bob Pugh, recollects his 35 years in Scotland Yard's Special Branch (MPSB), Britain's secret police Again this week's episode brings listeners a practically never before heard view from behind the scenes in the secret world of Scotland Yard's Special Branch. Formed in 1883, before the existence of the Security Service (MI5) in 1909, and The Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) in 1911, the Metropolitan Police Special Branch was Britain's first accredited internal secret service. Tasked with upholding the national security of the United Kingdom, The Branch would later share this role with MI5. However, because MI5 is not a law enforcement unit and therefore has no police powers of arrest or compunction, the Security Service has always required the assistance of the Branch or the police in general.

The Black Spy Podcast Season 2, Episode 0009 'The Branch' DI Bob Pugh, recollects his 35 years in Scotland Yard's Special Branch (MPSB), Britain's secret police This week's episode brings listeners a practically never before heard view of behind the scenes in the secret world of The Branch. Formed in 1883 before the existence of the Security Service (MI5) in 1909, and The Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) in 1911, the Metropolitan Police Special Branch was Britain's first accredited internal secret service. Tasked with upholding the national security of the United Kingdom, The Branch would later share this role with MI5. Because MI5 is not a law enforcement unit and therefore have no police powers of arrest or compunction, the Security Service would always require the assistance of the Branch or the police in general. In this week's episode, Bob Pugh an ex Detective Inspector in the Branch, recollects his 35 years in MPSB and the exploits he undertook in the many departments and sections of The Branch. This is a fascinating discussion for anybody who has at least the slightest interest in the covert world of national security, secret intelligence and allied geopolitics. In this discussion, which lasts over two episodes, we learn how MPSB officers were recruited, the examinations they had to pass to be selected, the vetting system officers had to undergo to be granted unfettered access to the top secret information, documentation and intelligence MPSB officers required to undertake their national security task. We also learn of the investigative, secret intelligence and national security training MPSB officers had to undergo to gain the level of competence required to perform counter intelligence, counter subversion, counter terrorism, counter extremism and counter proliferation roles undertaken by Scotland Yard's Special Branch. Moreover, many Scotland Yard Special Branch officers additionally underwent high level bodyguard and surveillance training as MPSB had the national responsibility for combatting Irish Republican extremism/terrorism and global responsibility for providing personal armed protection to Britain's top politicians (The Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary, Defence and Home Secretaries etc.) and UK wide responsibility for protecting visiting foreign Presidents, Prime Ministers and politically active Kings, Queens as well as other senior foreign politicians officially visiting the UK.

Their discussion touches on Winston's childhood in 70's and 80's England, as well as how Winston's personal journey mimics that of Carlton's in many ways, albeit Carlton's childhood was a decade earlier in the 1960's. Like Carlton, Winston battled with dyslexia, the indifference of some fellow citizens and the latent institutional racism of society and England's education system. We hear how Winston gained disciple and worked with his problems to settle down and focus on his prowess in the martial arts which culminated in him becoming a world martial arts champion, an actor, film producer and director.

The Black Spy Podcast Season 2, episode 0007 'Windrush Special' Britain as through the eyes of the 95 year old pioneers who made the journey to "Mother Country" This week's special episode brings listeners another seldom heard and insightful view into a current event, with historical roots in the macro geo-political world of the age of empire. This time the event being analysed through the eyes of the everyday citizens who experienced it, is the so called Windrush affair. In discussion with two 95 year olds and two somewhat younger, Carlton explores the mentality of colonialism, the lifestyle of the colonisers and that of the colonised. We hear the ladies recollections of their country, Barbados, in the 1930s, the apartheid system that had been in place under British rule for more that 300 years, the codification of race the island, with blacks being 2nd if not 3rd class citizens, the restrictions of class and the English centric colonial education system. The ladies speak of the effect of WW2 in the Caribbean and the take up of the call to arms within the Caribbean in general. Later, the ladies speak of their arrival in Britain, the culture shock of seeing poor working class white people and the shock of realising that, as Barbadians, contrary to what they'd been taught all their lives, they were not British and not necessarily wanted. Interestingly the ladies seem to notice a difference between the welcome from Londoners and that obtained by those who settled in Northern England. Listeners will be informed, no doubt enjoy, and frankly, be moved, by some of the recollections of this trip down memory lane by the nonagenarians. In short, this is another Black Spy Podcast that is not to be forepassed.

'Drug addiction, alcohol, abuse and the clandestine world' This episode of the Black Spy Podcast will be one of pure learning for most listeners. Yes we've all heard of 'drugs'. Many have tried them, experimented, abused and even enjoyed them. Governments have prohibited and outlawed them, and made efforts second only to combatting terrorism to stem the tide of them. Yet today's guest, who deals with the street consequences of drugs, be they prescribed or illegal, believes government's efforts have been confused from the beginning. This week's Black Spy Podcast sit down, with another expert from a walk of life that we often hear little from, doesn't attempt to hide or perfume events. As Jill says: "there was nothing fluffy about how I went about my activities as a drugs worker." The street economics and entrepreneurial opportunities of street dealing are discussed. The bitter, nasty and remorseless violence that the trade can bring about are dissected, as are the often stated links to prostitution and abuse. Carlton also poses the question: "why is it that every politician who ran for the leadership of Britain's Conservative Party, including the present Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, admitted to taking illegal drugs, often cocaine, yet none seemed to have suffered police action even when technically at least one minister admitted to supply. Is one of the problems with drug use, simply a matter of affordability? Why do the wealthy seem to suffer less enforcement against them?" So frankly, once again this is another one of those must hear Black Spy Podcast episodes that will inform and intrigue.

The Black Spy Podcast, Season 2, episode 0001 'Brexit, empire, the Traitor King & paedophilia in high office' This hard hitting discussion with author, publisher, historian and the best selling literary agent in the world, Andrew Lownie, delves deep into Britain's past present and future, as uncomfortable histories are brought out into the cold light of day. From skeletons in the Royal cupboard - treachery with Hitler and paedophilia at the highest military rank – to the Empire, Brexit and free trade verses protectionism the discussion freely meanders around the question of what are actual state and national security secrets as opposed to attempts to prevent 'individual' embarrassment. The episode also discusses changes in the British civil service, the increased prominence of SPADs (Special Advisors) and the competence of ministers within the British governmental system. Moreover, the programme assesses the importance of Scotland Yard's Special Branch as a one time long standing security service within the 'British police'. Furthermore, the discussion touches on the danger to all British intelligence and security services, of outing MPSB officers. As, if the UK can out its own clandestine officers, then how future agents have confidence that British intelligence will protect them. Such actions are a clear death knell, for any country's intelligence and security agencies. In this extended episode listeners truly learn how difficult it normally is to gain an insight into the secret world as Andrew explains what he did to gain the knowledge he required to write his in-depth biographies. If you're seriously interested in the clandestine world, this episode is a must hear and its revelations will inform and educate many, if not most listeners about matters long hidden from view. Andrew now awaits the result of a very personally expensive legal adjudication concerning he right to obtain access to Lord Mountbatten's public dairies. Papers which could shine an even brighter light on some of his questionable activities! Carlton intends to have Andrew back on The Black Spy Podcast when this occurs.

Posed by Dan, his web director, Carlton answers the questions in depth utilising examples from his clandestine life. Dan kicks off by asking Carlton about the coming season, so he spokes of Patreon and outlines guests such as Author, literary agent and publisher Andrew Lownie, the number one selling agent in the world.

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.

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.
