Auburn’s Peter Stanwick Is Management Professor By Profession, Punk Rock DJ At Heart

By Joe McAdory, Auburn University

It’s Friday morning and The Clash are punk rocking their way through your radio’s speakers. Why? Because Doctor Punk likes it that way.

Peter Stanwick might be a mild-mannered professor at Auburn University’s Harbert College of Business by trade, but on Friday mornings he trades his briefcase and PowerPoint presentations for control of the WEGL microphone and assumes his fun persona — Doctor Punk.

Stanwick’s 90-minute radio show, “80s Rewind,” features some of the industry’s punk rock favorites — including the Sex Pistols, The Ramones and, of course, Stanwick’s favorite, The Clash. “I always put a Clash song on first before I introduce myself,” he said. “Even though people know The Clash, they don’t know all of these different songs that they have, so I’ll play some of their obscure stuff, too. I’ll usually play some punky stuff during the first set, then some melodic 80s bands like the Talking Heads, REM, and Blondie.”
