The Mahjcast: Two Bros Talk Mahjong

by The Mahj Bros.

The Mahjcast is American Mahjong with the filters off. Hosted by Jason and Ira, the Mahj Bros, it’s a funny, irreverent and refreshingly different take on the people, personalities, strategy, tournaments, trends, rules and table drama shaping the game. 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 personalities, Mahj Confessions and plenty of debate. Pull up a chair—you’ve got a front-row seat to the culture exploding around the table.

I love listening to you two. I’ve only been playing for six months, so I actually learn something in every episode plus pick up some great tips from table etiquette to rules. I enjoy the guests and the intro song too! Hoping you don’t run out of topics!
