A special two hour end of year clip show revisiting some of the sweetest sounds and wisest wisdom shared on The Laborious Hour throughout 2019.

This month we’re gonna hear from a sitting chair who loves to help but can’t help but forget. An imitation meat maker who’s favorite part of the day is the end. And a classical guitar luthier who’d do anything to pass the right lessons on to the next generation.

But first we pick up where we left off last episode and rejoin Mark Guenther of Muddy Pond sorghum at early morning on the Cumberland plateau. A little under two hours into a field’s worth of sorghum cultivation  we also hear from Maddie, Ethel and Fern. Two of his best horses and one of his favorite mules doing most of the work.
