Summary: Great Product
Comment: This is a great product, I've been listening to this in my car almost everywhere I go. It keeps you refreshed on the multitude of topics presented on the MCAT, while the cheesy/corny jokes keep the perspective lite in contrast to other preps available.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Worth It
Comment: This product is comprehensive and well organized, and I believe one of the better audio MCAT reviews out there. In some of the reviews people have complained that the jokes and sound effects are distracting--I have a thought about this: The lack of monotony and homogeneity of the recordings keeps the listener interested. Other programs are easy to "tune out" after a short while. This program keeps you listening and gets the information into your head whether you are extremely focused or not---thus the name: Audio Osmosis. Fully recommended.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: A pretty nice supplement
Comment: I'm more of a visual and active learner, so I didn't love this product, but I did find it a useful way to try to review some key points when I was in the car or unable to open a book. The authors of the product say that you can just use the Audio Osmosis but I would strongly recommend that it's used as a supplement to other types of learning, unless you're really familiar with all of the MCAT science content already and truly just need a refresher.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: These guys did a great job at covering every topic on the MCAT in a fun way. This is a great way to study while driving or playing video games or just laying around. You don't have to open a book or use a muscle, all you do is just stay awake, and they do a good job helping you to do that.
Jordan and Jon are not annoying at all, unless you are easily annoyed. Don't believe these disgruntled reviewers who say there is too much comedy. There is actually very little comedy. There is the occasional bad joke, and they'll make fun of it with sound effects for being a bad joke. Besides, when you're studying for the MCAT, ALL jokes, good or bad, are a welcome relief. So it's all in good fun, and it's only a nuisance if you are no fun, which I suppose is true of a lot of premeds. Jon is the know-it-all, and Jordan is the confused guy you can relate to. Jon has the dry, genius voice, Jordan has the young, animated voice. It works.
You won't ace the MCAT just by listening to this, but what I recommend is first studying the lecture from the book, then listening to the lecture on Audio Osmosis before you go to sleep. It's a very effective combination. I hesitate to even call these lectures because they're more like a summary of all of the important topics in each chapter. Jordan asks a question about the lecture, Jon gives him part of the answer, Jordan says "oh yeah!" and starts figuring out the rest of the answer for himself, Jon helps him along, then Jordan asks another question that takes the topic into further detail. That's the formula, and it's a good one.

Summary: Comedy is very distracting
Comment: I bought this after reading another reviewer complain about how incredibly distracting their poor attmept at mixing some comedy in with the MCAT information was... I bought anyway thinking "how distracting could it actually be?" Well... the sound effects that are added in for I guess a comedic slant and the "dumb guy / smart guy" way of presenting the material is sooooo distracting I can't stand to even listen to the CDs. It is horrible - what's worse is that this would be a good study review if these guys would lay off these sound effects and poor attempts at jokes that have nothing to do with learning or reviewing the material.
