This isn’t a how-to show and it definitely isn’t your mother’s mahjong podcast. Expect sharp takes, ridiculous stories, strong opinions, guest pers... more

4.8 out of 5 stars from 123 ratings
  • One Star Deduction

    Love the pod but can’t give you all 5 stars today… please check the official NMJL rule book about calling a tile! Players’ memories, no matter how seasoned the players, are often flawed. Until the tile is racked the tile may be called, and the word ”call” is not the only way to make the table stop to give a player time to consider what to do.

  • Great minds think alike

    I am already going through anticipatory World Cup withdrawal and the Mahj Bros are just the answer. We agree that thinking about mahjong can take up all the mental space that the World Cup is going to leave behind. There’s drama. There are debatable calls. And it’s a beautiful game. If you’re not listening to The Mahj Bros. you are missing out.

  • Absolute must listen

    Such a fun and informative podcast! I had tried two other mahjong podcasts prior and just couldn’t get into them, but was instantly hooked when I listened to the first episode of The Mahjcast. Jason and Ira are very entertaining and also give great tips and perspectives on the game. This is an absolute must listen for any mahjong enthusiasts out there!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 207: Vegas, Baby! We've got a Mahj Bro on Top! 👑
Q: Talk about your Charleston strategy. Anything in particular that you feel like you do differently or any wisdom that you can impart on our listeners?
Moussa tracks which tiles are passed and which return, then changes direction when the tiles he receives do not fit his planned hand. He says switching before the final Charleston pass can improve the chance of completing a hand.
Ep. 207: Vegas, Baby! We've got a Mahj Bro on Top! 👑
Q: What's your pregame strategy going into a big weekend like this and how you approach each game and round?
Moussa recommends pursuing a winnable hand when he has two or three jokers, rather than chasing a higher-value hand that may be beaten before it is complete.
Ep. 206: Mahj Boss Jamie Lynn Sigler Talks Mahjong, Her Happy Place & Texas Blanks!
Q: How does Mahjong fit in with your own personal journey with MS and your own issues with family and friends and relationships and obviously your health and well-being?
Sigler says that multiple sclerosis has limited her mobility and sometimes led her to withdraw from social gatherings. Mahjong lets her take part while seated and engaged, helping her feel included and more socially connected.
Ep. 206: Mahj Boss Jamie Lynn Sigler Talks Mahjong, Her Happy Place & Texas Blanks!
Q: What is your Mahjong origin story?
Sigler learned from a teacher in Austin, Texas, initially found the game difficult, and began enjoying it once she played with blanks and a more relaxed set of rules.
Ep. 205: Jill Kargman Joins the Bros, Haunted Tiles & a Very Mahjy Week
Q: What can you tell us about the Halloween collection and how it came together with Center & Spring?
Jill discusses partnering with Sandy and Peyton, the design collaboration with Kelly Lillian, and the process of translating goth-inspired motifs into tiles, ensuring both aesthetics and playability.
