The Mahj Salon
The Mahj Salon is where Mahjong players come for the stories and stay for the opinions. It is a show for people who care how other players shuffle, stack, and score. Hosted by Mahjong Meets Moxie’s Jennifer Hohman and Cathy Herrington, it sounds like the table talk you wish you had recorded. Fast, funny, and frank, each episode digs into pet peeves, tile choices, money at the table, and the growing business of Mahjong. Some topics feel small. Some feel huge. All of them feel like conversations you have after a long night of play.

We put original tiles beside look-alikes and ask the messy question: when does inspiration become copying?

Social play is the heart of mahjong. We talk Amazon tiles and bespoke mats, “heard around the table” moments, travel sets we couldn’t resist, and why friendships, laughter, snacks, and slow games with kind people keep us coming back long after we’ve forgotten who actually won.

What happens when the Mahj-obsessed wives hand the mics to their men?
Kip and Hal step into the Husband Hot Seat to confess how many tile sets live at home, what they really thought Mahjong was, and how their formal living rooms became full‑blown salons.

From cultural-appropriation backlash to Texas leather mats, dragon dresses, and Taylor Swift mini-Maj decks, they ask what’s worth the splurge, what’s useless-but-fabulous, and how this “little game” turned into a serious shopping problem.

Mahjong is either costing you money, making you money, or awkwardly sitting somewhere in between—and Jenn and Cathy are here to name names (without naming names).
