Is there a middle-age sexual renaissance afoot? And should 50-somethings be crediting 20-somethings for it? That's this week on Explain It To Me. New episodes every Sunday morning, wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi, Prof G and Ed. Love the show. I was wondering if the same demographic trends affecting higher ed will affect companies like Disney, who rely upon a younger demographic for their streaming content, venues, and other products. In other words, with fewer babies being born and as people age, they will drop their Disney subscriptions, forcing Disney to find new subscribers from a smaller pool.
What other companies might face this demographic challenge?
It's a really interesting question. I think about this through the lens of I have a son who will be applying to college. And actually, for the first time, the demographics are on his side. Fewer boys are applying to a college and just fewer people are applying to college. Although what's against him is because I'm a narcissist and want him to go to a quote-unquote prestige or elite school.
