  • Must listen!

    Such a fun listen. Jason + Ira make mahjong feel welcoming, funny, and addictive in the best way. Feels like hanging around after open play chatting with friends. Love what they’re building for the mahj community.

  • Love the Mahjcast!

    Such a great podcast! I think it’s a must-listen if you’re into mahj. The Bros are funny, quippy, fast-moving and full of great table moments and stories -- that plus real wisdom about game strategy and navigating The Card. They strike a great balance between delivering knowledge (self-taught and from experts) and letting you know that they’re still figuring it out with you.

  • The MahjCast is an absolute blast!

    Jason + Ira are hilarious - their banter is lightning-fast, witty, and endlessly entertaining. They bounce off each other pros, mixing jokes with genuine warmth and occasional Yiddish that keeps you laughing out loud while somehow sneaking in serious mahj strategy and stories. I'm learning so much about the game without it ever feeling like a lecture. I love the Jackie moments - she sounds like a total hoot.

    Pleaseeeee come to my hometown soon... it’s small, it’s cute (sorry no Four Seasons) and... more
