  Is the Novel Dead? MCAT CARS Passage Breakdown (History & Literature)

  Aug 20, 202644 min

  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. Get started with our resources!

  How Do Molecules Cross the Cell Membrane? Channels, Carriers & Active Transport Explained

  Aug 17, 202652 minS3

  Can a cell control what gets in and what stays out? Here's how membrane transport actually works. In this episode of the Jack Westin MCAT Podcast, Mike and Molly break down one of the most tested concepts on the exam: how molecules move across the cell membrane. Building on last episode's dive into lipids, they explore what makes a membrane selectively permeable and why that matters for medicine as a whole. Next episode: Cellular trafficking, how molecules move within the cell after they cross the membrane. Get started with our resources!

  MCAT CARS Walkthrough: "Television and Life" Media Passage

  Aug 12, 202645 minS1

  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. Get started with our resources!

  Lipids Explained: Fatty Acids, Triglycerides, Phospholipids and Membrane Fluidity

  Aug 10, 202637 minS3

  Welcome back to the Jack Westin MCAT Podcast with Mike and Molly! Last episode was DNA techniques. This episode we finally give some love to the most underappreciated of the four macromolecules: lipids. Lipids do not get the same attention as proteins or carbohydrates on the MCAT, but Mike makes a strong argument in this episode that lipids are actually the macromolecule that defines the cell. Without them, there is no inside versus outside. Without them, nothing gets concentrated, nothing gets protected, and nothing gets separated from the environment. This episode covers everything from the chemistry of fatty acids to why fish in cold water have healthier fats than you do. Get started with our resources!

  MCAT CARS Walkthrough: "Man the Hunter" Anthropology Passage

  Aug 9, 202646 minS2

  Welcome back to the Jack Westin CARS Podcast with Hunter and Molly! In this episode we walk through the August 5th daily CARS passage titled Man the Hunter, an anthropology passage about whether early humans were primarily hunters or scavengers, and what the fossil evidence from Olduvai Gorge actually suggests. This is a great representative CARS passage: medium density, a clear competing theory structure, and plenty of hedged language that will absolutely trip up students who are not paying attention to tone and author confidence. Hunter and Molly show you exactly how to navigate all of it. Get started with our resources!
