Friends, neighbors, and outdoors enthusiasts across middle-Tennessee, northern Alabama and southern Kentucky welcome Southern Woods and Waters host Hugh A. McNaughten into their living rooms each week. They enjoy his good humor and the useful information his guests share as they sit and rock a spell on Hugh’s front porch.
