If anybody deserves a break, it’s Gordon Hoff of Alliance Floral Hoffhaus Gardens.

Each Spring for over two decades, Gordon has made time to visit the KCOW studios and answer listener questions every Saturday morning on the popular “Landscape Lingo” series.

This year, with no sign of a slowdown at the Gardens–and a new greenhouse project in full swing–Gordon is taking a well-deserved year off.  And KCOW is taking the opportunity to try something new: a series of call-in shows featuring a guest with a different area of expertise each week.  “Ask The Experts” will air in the traditional “Lingo” timeslot, Saturday mornings at 9:00am for several weeks beginning April 6th.

The first expert joining us in our spiffy new KCOW studio is Greg Sanders from Jack’s Refrigeration, who will answer questions about heating, cooling, and (perhaps) how to make the perfect pulled pork sandwich.  Future experts will share their knowledge on home maintenance, auto care and repair, and more.

Everyone who calls in with a question over the entire season of “Ask The Experts” programs will be entered into a drawing for a brand new lawnmower from Bloedorn Lumber Alliance.

Connecting listeners to the answers will be “Ask The Experts” host Jason Wentworth who notes: “My area of expertise is Herman’s Hermits records and ‘Brady Bunch’ episodes.  I think the experts we have lined up to answer questions will be a lot more helpful than I would be!”
