A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
This podcast provides a valuable service to Interventional Radiology. As someone who has practiced in a diversity of settings from premier academic, to private practice, to OBL. I feel that this podcast has valuable content for every practice setting.
You can listen to specific episodes on procedures you are developing and it will definitely help you get started and get better. Listening to episodes on procedures I am not involved in has also re-stimulated my curiosity and love for IR.
Thank you and keep up the good work!

I give the BackTable podcast a solid 5 stars for its outstanding combination of practicality, curiosity, and depth. It thoroughly covers every essential aspect for interventionalists, including physician burnout, financial management, useful tips and tricks, and detailed procedural guidance. The conversations are consistently engaging, approachable, and rich with valuable insights that you can apply directly to your practice.

Another outstanding episode and discussion about sedation and escalation to anesthesia. Collaboration with anesthesia and building their resources into your IR platform improves access and effectiveness. It’s more than an anesthesia machine. Getting their Omnicell and proper gas access into the room while formalizing escalation strategy has been effective at our institution. Bringing anesthesia in has drastically improved our patient experience and also has elevated our ability to do more advanced procedures that take time or cause pain.
