The Great Antidote
It’s Not Goodbye, It’s See You in September with Amy Willis
In this special episode of The Great Antidote, Amy Willis of Liberty Fund takes the mic to interview Juliette Sellgren, the voice behind the show. Together, they reflect on the evolution of the podcast—from its early days to the hundreds of guests it has featured—and how Juliette herself has grown in the process.
They talk about what it means to foster curiosity, how Juliette approaches reading (and recommends you do, too), and what makes for a great question. They also discuss the future of the podcast, the future of Juliette, and how The Great Antidote continues to explore the ideas of liberty and flourishing through meaningful conversation.
We explore questions like:
- What have been the most surprising lessons from interviewing economists, philosophers, and thinkers about liberty?
- How has Juliette’s own worldview changed since the podcast began?
- What is her approach to reading—and how does it fuel her curiosity?
- If she could have dinner with any past guest (or figure), who would it be?
Juliette Sellgren is the creator and host of The Great Antidote, a podcast by Liberty Fund that explores the ideas, institutions, and people behind a free society. She’s a researcher, writer, and lover of questions whose work bridges classical liberal ideas and public conversation.
Whether you're a longtime listener or just tuning in, this behind-the-scenes episode offers an honest, reflective look at the voice behind the mic—and what’s next.
