  • Love These Guys!

    Finally! A podcast about Mahjong where the hosts actually talk about Mahjong. There have been a few new podcasts around Mahjong, but it seems like half the episode is not even about Mahjong. These guys deep dive into strategy, tips, history. I love it all! And they’re just so fun! 👏

    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.
