Matthew Green

Matthew Green is a trail blazing young historian, writer and broadcaster who has appeared in documentaries on the BBC, ITV and Channel 4; he is also the founder of Unreal City Audio, which produces immersive tours of London as live events, podcasts and apps. In Shadowlands he explores the dead ends of history - places lost to natural phenomena, war and plague, economic shifts and technical progress. Travelling across Britain, he discovers a landscape scarred with haunting and romantic remains, from lost cities to drowned villages, and turns back the clock to picture them in their prime. He also looks forward to ask what these shadowlands can tell us about the fragility of our lives and habitations today.
