I'm studying for Doomsday😅; I plan on taking you to Doomsday w/ me.
Come w/ me as I try to help you laugh, learn, and (most importantly) enjoy/retain the immensity of all this info!
Come & study w/ me while I try to explain all the MCAT concepts solely through auditory hearing. Yep, learning physics and chemistry with just our ears and echolocation? Good luck, right?
The Podcast is a supplement to your MCAT studying, or for general purposes--enrichment, life-long learning & satisfying the urge for scientific knowledge.

BIOCHEM P1 — The Characteristics of Life — What is it? How is it? (Never what is it though.)
In this episode of the Doomsday Prepper's Guide to the MCAT, we go into Biochemistry. Mainly, what is the study of biochemistry? Why is it not just chemistry or biology? What is the close-cousin of biochemistry? And what are the characteristics of life that help utilize the molecules and atoms that exist in an organized way to create you and me.

PHYSICS P1 — The SI Units and Kinematics (with a tribute to Antoine Lavoisier [1743 - 1794]).
In this episode we begin our journey through physics. We begin by introducing the subject of kinematics (the study of motion or objects in motion) and go through why we have to use the metric system (also known as the International System of Units (SI Units)) over the Imperial System, which we never changed when the early colonies that would one day be the original 13 States of the United States of America were still colonies under British Rule.
Anyway, we dive into units and I provide a basic framework for units. I promised visual aids, so try this link for the SI Unit pin I have up. I will update this section later for more SI units.
Because this is an introduction to the measurements of physics, I also go into a little of its history and also controversies. There will be a bonus episode for 2020 (just for fun/conversation. No MCAT stuff on it most likely). And that's all! So enjoy and the next episode is coming up real fast and soon :)

OCHEM P1 -- Organic Chemistry: The Study of Carbon
We'll be using this book by CalTech. Because it's free.
https://authors.library.caltech.edu/25032/1/Organic_Chemistry.pdf
---
What this episode covers:
1. Organic vs Inorganic Chemistry.
2. Why Carbon is the "go-to" for life versus other elements in group IV (4) of the periodic table.
3. Ionic and Covalent Bonds.
3.2 Polar Covalent Bonds (e.g. water, the selfish equal sharer).

Customer Reviews
yeah I’m a little biased
This is the creator of the podcast series. Of course I gave it 5-stars? Do I look like I hate myself?i listen to myself and I love how I sound. Weird? Nope.
Awful podcast, not worth anybody’s time
The host rambles on about topics that are not related to core MCAT material. There are quite a few other podcasts that contain dense, valuable information. The MCAT is not a joke, and there’s an incredible amount of testable information on it, and this podcast is terrible bc it doesn’t cover the material in a cohesive, coherent fashion. The host sounds like he took too much adderall and is having a manic episode to the background music.
Its good
It’s interesting, And its good.
