    Michael O'Toole welcomes artist/writer/filmmaker D.L. Polonsky on this episode #111 of Experimentally ILL, recorded on 1/18/2023. Kick off the new year with some pop culture and counter-culture chatter. The serious and the seriously funny D.L., known most lately for his political cartoons, waxes poetic on social and political issues, while breaking down some of his creative process and philosophy. Mental health is also discussed, as well as the challenges navigating the health care system at large. TV and movies are hit on as usual, from D.L. comparing some of his luck to the iconic Al Bundy of the hit Fox series Married... With Children and more. These old friends also recount their own history in media, including their morning radio show and moviemaking days. D.L. shares stories about his Boston Children's Theatre days, auditioning for WGBH's Zoom and Super 8 filmmaking as a child.
