What happens when the life you imagined disappears overnight?

Confronted is an eight-episode narrative podcast that begins with the stillbirth of Matt Earle and Lauren’s daughter, Mackenzie, and follows the 18 months that come after - using real recordings captured in the moment.

Blending past and present, Matt and his best friend Josh revisit past relationships, therapy, travel, and the turning points that shaped that time - including the strange moments where you somehow find yourself laughing when you feel like you shouldn’t.

Told from a male perspective, Confronted explores how people respond when life doesn’t go to plan - and how they find a way forward.

New episodes out every Friday.

    Sometimes the only way forward is to leave everything behind.

    Grief doesn’t always look the way people expect.

    For Matt, the months after Mackenzie’s death spiral into anxiety, therapy sessions, and a drink-driving charge that forces him to confront parts of himself he’d been avoiding for years.

    Sometimes the hardest moments are the ones that force you to face yourself.

    Is it possible to laugh again without betraying your grief?

    Less than two weeks after Mackenzie’s death, Matt finds himself filming a survival show teaser in the Marlborough Sounds with comedian Tom Sainsbury.

    It’s surreal. It’s uncomfortable. And somehow… it’s also the first time he laughs again.
