Rules, strategy, table manners and a cocktail every episode.

Every episode is a full mahjong night.
At the table
Rules, strategy and etiquette for American Mahjong: the Charleston, jokers, dead hands, playing with fewer than four, and the yearly NMJL card.
Guests from the industry
Founders, teachers and makers: tile designers, league founders, app builders and the authors players already follow.
The cocktail
Each episode features a signature drink, with recipes posted on the site's Drink page.
The tablescape
Sets, mats, racks and table styling are on camera every episode, with links in the show notes. Listeners call it out in reviews.
Three friends from Tallahassee.
Christina
Certified Mahjong instructorA Florida native who runs the Tallahassee Mahjong League. Brings the rules expertise and a teacher's eye for what new players get wrong.
Elizabeth
Residential draftswoman and artistOriginally from South Carolina and raising three boys. Plays to win and brings a designer's eye to every table setting.
Marshall
Founder, Megafauna FilmworksA lifelong Tallahassee resident and video producer who leads the show and makes the video version look like it belongs on a lifestyle channel.
Women 45 and over who host, decorate, gift and buy for the table.
88 to 91% of the audience are women. Most are over 45: 85% of YouTube viewers and 66% of Spotify listeners. They are the players who host the weekly game, set the table and buy the sets.
American Mahjong players organize regular games at home, join leagues and take lessons. Playing means owning a set, and hosting means setting a table. That puts Tile Talk listeners where hobby spending meets home and lifestyle spending.
