Really great to listen to while commuting or at work. Minor comment is that I really dislike that drum - itches my brain in all the wrong ways
I love this podcast! It’s so helpful for reviewing the science content and Sam makes it so entertaining. The subscriber episodes are totally worth it too. Incredibly cheap compared to what other test prep companies offer!
It is EXTREMELY SAD- that a resource that used to be free now has a subscription fee to listen to the older podcasts. Mind you I found this channel over a year ago and all those recordings used to be free. It is so sad seeing you bought over by a company. It is no longer about the cause but for the profit.
I’m not sure if it’s always been this way, but the cost for subscription is not accessible! Pre meds already pay so much to prepare for medical school. It’s ridiculous to charge for this.
This podcast is one of the best accesory study tools EVER made for auditory learners/ podcasters. I can be efficient learning in the car or at the gym. Sam explains the topics in such a way that helps reinforce what I’ve already exposed myself to, and it can help guide my studying later. I recommend this to everyone as an ADDITIONAL resource to doing practice problems and stuff (you can’t ever replace that haha).

A rigorous MCAT-focused series that covers core science topics with concise, exam-oriented explanations. Episodes typically break down fundamental concepts (metabolism, signaling, cell biology, physics, psychology) and connect them to MCAT question strategies, often including clinical or real-world examples. A notable feature is the presence of host-led deep dives by two experienced tutors, along with guest insights and practical study tips. A recent expansion includes a premium, ad-free subscription designed to deliver high-yield lessons in a structured format, signaling a shift toward enhanced, subscription-based learning while preserving practical, accessible review for commuters and student study routines.
