Number 1: MCAT Cell Biology: Cell Organelles, Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes & What's Really Inside Your Cells
Are you more bacteria than human? The answer might surprise you, and it's just the beginning of this deep dive into cell biology. In this episode of the Jack Westin MCAT Podcast, Mike and Molly go inside the cell. After covering membrane transport last episode, they now unpack everything happening on the other side of that membrane, from the nucleus outward into membrane bound organelles like the mitochondria (and its wild evolutionary story), while contrasting important features that differentiate eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

Number 2: Is the Novel Dead? MCAT CARS Passage Breakdown (History & Literature)
Can history replace literature as the way we tell the human story? A 1980s essay makes the case, and it's more entertaining than you'd expect. In this episode of the Jack Westin MCAT CARS Podcast, Hunter and Molly tackle a passage on history and literature, one of the topics students often dread, and prove it can actually be a blast to work through. They break down the full passage sentence by sentence, modeling exactly how to map an argument in real time so you can walk into test day with a repeatable strategy.

Number 3: MCAT CARS Walkthrough: "Television and Life" Media Passage
Welcome back to the Jack Westin CARS Podcast with Hunter and Molly! In this episode we walk through the August 12th daily CARS passage titled Television and Life, from Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death, a media criticism passage about how television has stopped being just entertainment and quietly become the invisible architecture of modern culture. Fair warning: if you spend any time on a screen, this passage will make you feel deeply seen. Hunter and Molly had a lot of feelings about it too.

Number 4: MCAT Mass Spectrometry & ¹H NMR
Mass spectrometry and ¹H NMR can look intimidating but the MCAT does not expect you to approach them like a full organic chemistry lab exam. In this episode of the Jack Westin MCAT Podcast, Mike and Molly break down the essential concepts you need to interpret mass spectra and proton NMR questions confidently. You’ll learn how to focus on the information that actually matters, eliminate incorrect answer choices faster, and avoid getting distracted by unnecessary complexity. Mike and Molly also walk through ethanol as an example, showing how different analytical techniques can be combined to determine a molecule’s identity. Whether these topics bring back stressful memories from organic chemistry or you are learning them for the first time, this episode will help you understand exactly what the MCAT expects you to know and what you can safely ignore. Next episode: Hemoglobin and the major biochemistry concepts connected to its structure and function.

Number 5: Light, Electrons and Energy Levels: The MCAT Physics You Keep Skipping
Welcome back to the Jack Westin MCAT Podcast with Mike and Molly! We just finished chromatography and separation techniques. Before we dive into spectroscopy, there is foundational science that makes all of it make sense: how atoms absorb and emit light, why energy levels are quantized, and why some molecules are colored while others are not. This episode is the one most students skip and then regret when spectroscopy questions show up in their passages and nothing clicks.
