Consumer Industry Research

Hey all, 

Posting to see if any of you could provide some guidance on keeping up with the consumer industry. Curious to hear which websites, newsletters, podcasts, etc. you all follow to stay in the know for all things consumer (key acquisitions / investments, fast-growing brands, emerging concepts) 

I personally follow the activity of a few investment firms (e.g., Forerunner ventures, TSG, L Catterton), skim Retail Brew, and listen to Industry Focus' Consumer segment podcast 

D2C CPG and retail seem to really take up the lion's share of these sources though. Interested in branching out to better understand other subsegments like food/beverage, consumer tech, etc. 

I couldn't seem to find any recent discussions that were helpful, so would love to read about your go-to's 

Cheers!
