Welcome back to Consequence's Annual Report, celebrating the best music and entertainment 2024 had to offer on the Consequence UNCUT: Annual Report podcast exclusively on Amazon Music!

On this episode we speak with our Producer of the Year - though recently he could have been the producer of almost every Year - Jack Antonoff. He discusses being behind the boards for Sabrina Carpenter’s breakout album Short ’n Sweet, how to treat a voice as perfect as Taylor Swift’s, and what his trademark tape effects add to songs. One programming note, Antonoff declined repeated requests to discuss his work with Kendrick Lamar, and portions related to that part of the conversation have been edited out.

On this episode, we present our Composers of the Year - Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Reznor and Ross previously received this accolade in 2020, but, in the years that have followed, their soundtrack work for film and television has only gotten more exciting. In 2024, they delivered two stunning scores for the movies Queer and Challengers, while also contributing music to The Bear and The Franchise. In this in-depth conversation with Senior Entertainment Editor Liz Shannon Miller, Reznor and Ross explore the challenges they faced with this year's projects — and how the line between their composing work and Nine Inch Nails might get blurry in the future. In addition, please also enjoy Liz's interview with producer Boys Noize, who took Reznor and Ross's score for Challengers and transformed it into one of the year's most addictive albums.

Welcome back to Consequence's Annual Report, celebrating the best music and entertainment 2024 had to offer on the Consequence UNCUT: Annual Report podcast exclusively on Amazon Music!

In this episode, we present our film performer of the year, Timothée Chalamet. In this interview with Senior Entertainment Editor Liz Shannon Miller, the Dune and Wonka star talks about taking on one of the most challenging roles of his career for A Complete Unknown, which required him to learn the guitar and sing like Bob Dylan — and more importantly, figure out how to embody one of music's most mysterious icons. As a bonus, we're also happy to share Liz's conversation with Chalamet's co-star Edward Norton, who reflected not just on working with Chalamet, but the unknowability of someone like Dylan, and why that made A Complete Unknown the perfect title for the film.
