  • Aerosmith, Part Three: Sellouts, Super Bowls, and Survival
    Feb 17 2026

    This is the final chapter of Rockers to Doctors' three-part Aerosmith series.

    We follow Aerosmith from the height of their 1990s commercial dominance through creative conflict, Nine Lives turmoil, the global success of "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," Disney partnerships, the Super Bowl, Guitar Hero, medical crises, near breakups, and farewell tours.

    Dr. Dorian Prescott explores Aerosmith's evolution from gritty Boston rock band to global entertainment brand. Nova Starwick analyzes how the band adapted across industry shifts, technological revolutions, and generational change.

    Few bands survive five decades of cultural upheaval. Even fewer return to the charts in the modern era.

    This episode concludes the Aerosmith trilogy.

  • Aerosmith, Part Two: The Comeback That Should Not Have Worked
    Feb 10 2026

    This is Part Two of Rockers to Doctors' Aerosmith deep dive.

    We follow Aerosmith from early-80s collapse to one of the most unlikely comebacks in music history. This episode covers failed albums, lineup fractures, the Run-D.M.C. "Walk This Way" crossover, interventions and rehab, the Permanent Vacation resurgence, touring chaos with Guns N' Roses, and the band's total MTV takeover with Pump and Get a Grip.

    Dr. Dorian Prescott frames the story as cultural survival, while Nova Starwick approaches it through systems thinking and probability. Aerosmith didn't just recover. They rebooted, rebranded, and became bigger than ever.

    This episode continues directly from Part One and leads into the final chapter of the Aerosmith series.

  • Aerosmith, Part One: The Long Takeoff on a Snow-Covered Runway
    Jan 27 2026

    This is Part One of Rockers to Doctors' Aerosmith deep dive.

    We examine Aerosmith's formation, rise, and early dominance from the 1960s through 1980, covering the creation of the classic lineup, the explosive success of Toys in the Attic and Rocks, and the feedback loop where talent amplified attention, attention amplified excess, and excess began to dismantle the band.

    Dr. Dorian Prescott brings narrative and cultural analysis, while Nova Starwick applies data science, systems thinking, and probability modeling to a band that statistically should not have survived this era.

    This episode sets the stage for Part Two, where everything breaks, rebuilds, and somehow leads to one of the greatest second acts in rock history.

  • Rock Isn't Dead | New Music From Whiteshake, Temple Balls & Wycked Angel
    Jan 20 2026

    Howard Stern says rock is dead. We disagree.

    In this January New Music episode of Rockers to Doctors, Nova Starwick and Dorian Prescott explore new releases from three modern bands keeping the spirit of 1980s melodic hard rock alive.

    Whiteshake deliver a blues-driven homage that feels like a lost Whitesnake deep cut. Temple Balls fuse European precision with arena-ready hooks and cyberpunk flair. Wycked Angel brings full-commitment glam energy with songs built for the stage and the long haul.

    This episode is about intention. Dynamics. Melody. And why guitar-forward rock still works when bands stop chasing trends and start committing to the sound.

    Listen closely. Check the links. And if one of these songs makes you swear you owned it on cassette, let us know.

  • Top 5 Rock Christmas Songs: Nova vs Dorian
    Dec 24 2025

    Nova and Dorian take on the holidays independently, each presenting their own Top 5 Rock Christmas Songs with very different philosophies.

    Dorian applies strict criteria, structure, and analysis to decide what actually makes a Christmas rock song work.

    Two lists. Two approaches. One holiday debate.

    Listen to both and let us know whose list you liked better, or what songs we missed.

    Rockers to Doctors treats rock history with PhD-level precision and just enough holiday chaos.

  • The Music of Stranger Things: How '80s Rock Took Over the Upside Down
    Dec 16 2025

    Stranger Things didn't just revive '80s nostalgia. It resurrected entire careers.

    In this episode of Rockers to Doctors, Nova Starwick and Dorian Prescott break down how Stranger Things became the most powerful music PR engine of the last decade. From Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" to Metallica's "Master of Puppets," we explore how key rock, punk, and metal songs were woven into the show's story—and what happened to those artists afterward.

    We cover:

    • How Max weaponized Kate Bush against Vecna

    • Why Billy's entrance demanded Scorpions and Mötley Crüe

    • How The Clash became the emotional backbone of Season 1

    • Why Bon Jovi's "Runaway" mirrors Eleven's journey

    • Eddie Munson, Metallica, and the most iconic metal scene in TV history

    This is not just nostalgia. It's music history being rewritten in real time.
