He explains how Gopi coined the name “BackTable” as an homage to the informal, behind-the-scenes conversations that fuel clinical learning. With eight shows now producing 30 to 40 episodes each month, BackTable will begin releasing most new podcast episodes exclusively on the BackTable app starting in October. The conversation highlights the app’s robust features designed for busy clinicians, including physician-only NPI-verified guest Q&As, quick-study cases, searchable and organized playlists, episode transcripts, offline listening, upcoming CarPlay integration, and access to resources like the Curbsiders internal medicine podcast.
