Blue Collar ICs is a roundtable podcast hosted by seasoned interventional cardiologists who work on the front lines of cardiovascular care. The show delivers honest, experience-driven conversations about real cases, complications, evolving technologies, and the decisions that matter when the stakes are high. From complex coronary and peripheral interventions to stroke prevention, structural heart, and cath-lab realities, the focus stays on practical medicine—not polished theory. Equal parts education, storytelling, and unfiltered debate, Blue Collar ICs pulls back the curtain on how interventional cardiology is practiced in the real world.

Inside the Room: Conferences, Live Cases, and Life-and-Death Moments

On this episode of Blue Collar ICs, the team breaks down what really happens behind the scenes at cardiology conferences — from networking with peers and vendors to navigating the pressure of live cases and panel criticism. They share personal stories about career-defining conference moments, the thrill and terror of performing challenging procedures live on stage, and the evolving technologies shaping interventional cardiology today. The docs also dive into physician culture, engineering collaborations, and how new ideas make their way from brainstorming to bedside. In a powerful shift, the conversation turns to emotional resilience, handling patient loss, and the mental toll of life-and-death decision-making in the cath lab. They close with an inspiring look at the remarkable recovery of Florida State athlete Ethan Pritchard and the impact of multidisciplinary care. It’s a candid, wide-ranging episode that blends technical insight with humanity at its core.
