Jason and Ira are everything! Hysterical, Smart, informative. I’m a beginner Mahj player and they are really helping me understand the new card. Thank you!!

MahjInNJ · Apr 2026

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 you have to bring Jackie with you! Can't recommend The MahjCast enough if you love mahj, laughs, or just great podcast vibes! xoxo PS: Your voices are soothing!!

Let’s Kibbitz! · Apr 2026

Super fun podcast! Don’t know who they are - but who cares - they’re fun & funny and, moreover, super informative. Found the Mahjcast while looking for another Mahj podcast, and I’m glad I did. Subscribed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

meism3i8 · Mar 2026

These two are great!! Funny, informative, and so great to hear from the men’s perspective although I suspect their biggest fans will be all the ladies!
