I enjoy this topic (and like Daniel I come at things partly from an investing angle) but I'm more a reader than listener so usually just scan the transcripts of Aaron's podcast.
I think the most recent post on Daniel's Substack contains a very good summary of his views in that PDF file he presented at a conference, which is a better fit for my tastes than the podcast format. He touched on a lot of these points on the podcast.
It's a good summary of data with which I was already generally familiar, as well as a deeper dive than I've seen elsewhere into a few issues that seem to be particular pet focuses of his, like housing. And he brings up a few topics that I hadn't thought at all about, like the rise of C-sections.
I also didn't realize how much zombie momentum the institutional anti-natal movement still has. The CCP has pivoted but Thailand hosting a population control conference while sitting at 1.0 TFR! Crazy.
I think this podcast provides an interesting counterweight to supposed problems of declining birth rates, such as a decline (!) in exorbitant housing prices. https://mises.org/podcasts/radio-rothbard/problem-pronatalism
