    One of my favorite podcasts
    Funny, informative, entertaining. I love listening to Fern and her guests talk about my favorite game.
  • Sugar's Mama in NC
    Love this Podcast!!
    Such a nice surprise every time I get a new podcast from Fran in my downloads. I am new to the game this year and already slightly obsessed 😍. Love her voice, how clearly enunciated the podcast is, so upbeat and full of interesting topics. This podcast was a wonderful find and three of us are headed to MahjCon from hearing about it on this podcast. We WILL be playing MJ at night in our hotel for our week long girls trip 🥳🀄️
  • LPH2O
    So informative!
    I’m new to MJ and I have really been enjoying and learning so much from Fern and her guests. These podcast episodes are a great way to understand more about this fun and challenging game.

    New Listner
    Found this podcast a few weeks ago. Our group began playing in person again in April. We play once a week and it’s my favorite day of week. Listening to this pod really supports my awareness of the game. I’m not sure what I have learned but I do know I’m a more alert player since tuning in. Thank you Fern for the kindness you radiant in all your communication. The most important thing I can learn from this pod and share with others the way you do is kindness. Thank you. May good health continue with you and your family. J in Austin

    Every week
    I found this podcast a few months ago! I’ve almost caught up and listen to the new one every week! If you play Mah Jongg or are interested in this great game this is the podcast for you!

    Mah Jongg Mondays
    Great podcast! I would also suggest reading the book as well. There was so many heartwarming feelings you get and it's so easy to relate to tons of things that Fern talks about.
  • Speakingof...
    Not to be missed!
    Wow! Fern’s podcast is a one stop mah jongg interest center! No matter who she is hosting on her podcast I am immediately interested and drawn in. She is warm, welcoming and so easy to talk to. I’ve met her and she is just as genuine in person! Fern, you deserve all the success and praise coming your way. One day I’ll do a book group with you on Mah Jongg Mondays! All best❤️

    Online Tournament
    Congratulations on your BIG WIN!! Such an enjoyable episode! I love the magic of MahJongg also and how it brings everyone together! Thank you for using your platform to spotlight this amazing group ☺️
  • Mainer0908
    Great show
    Fern is a great host. She has a warm, gentle style - I think of her as a friend. I’ve learned so much from the varied guests. I love the answers her guest give to her question: How did you come to game? An then there’s the Covid factor - listening to her experiences reminds me that we’re all in the same boat!
  • Coolnannfhdjdjsjshdjsks
    All
    I look forward to listening to a new episode each week and save them for my Tuesday morning walk. Monday morning is for online Mah Mahjong with my group on Meet! I have learned so much while being entertained!
  • SSH HB
    Fun and Educational
    I’ve learned so much about Mah Jongg from this podcast thank you Fern for all the time you put into making each podcast.
  • sister-1
    No one comes in 2nd!
    That’s the saying I enjoy hearing, along with “each game you do not win you learn!” How true!!! The variety of guests from Mahj celebrities, family and artists to real players is so enjoyable. I usually listen at work using earbuds and have at times burst out in laughter to the surprise of my co-workers. Love this podcast!
  • majoan53
    Such fun!
    I’m a new listener and have totally enjoyed the first few I’ve heard. #28 was riveting. It’s like listening to good friends. I especially liked the line about “wine games and poker games”. Thanks for helping me thru a tough a tough recuperation.
  • Mah Jongg Player
    My first MJ podcast with Fern
    I simply fell in love with Fern Bernstein when we spoke on the phone. When she asked me to be on her podcast June 15th I was very excited. I was nervous but after her patient guidance I knew I could do this and the podcast interview went so well. My family and friends were extremely impressed with my story. I felt like a celebrity. Fern is the best. I started to read her book “Mah Jongg Monday’s “and knew she is a very special lady. She is insightful and has a spirituality that touches everyone she meets. I told my husband that I could be good friends with Fern. I look forward to meeting her one day at my Manhattan Mah Jongg Club on Monday’s at Sarabeths Restaurant. Thank you for coming into my life. It’s b’shert. Linda
  • Disapprove12
    A wonderful podcast!
    Fern has put together a very professional and fascinating podcast about all things Mah Jongg. This was something that was missing in our Mah Jongg world and it is a very welcome addition. I look forward to each week’s program.
  • Richnei
    When we can’t go to mahjong mahjong comes to us!
    During today’s times, listening to Fern talk about Mah Jongg in so many different ways with so many interesting people really helps!! I miss playing with my ladies and listening to Fern is calming and enjoyable. Thank you, Fern Bernstein!!
  • Mel Wag
    Fern is the best hostess!!!!
    I so look forward to this podcast every week! As a matter of fact I have been recently waiting until the middle/end of the week to listen to it because it gives me something to look forward on my daily walks in Manhattan to and from work!!! While the city is so empty and so sad especially in these unprecedented times, listening to the podcast is so uplifting and inspiring- Listening to Fern and her guests is like being around the table and enjoying time together. I have not only learned so much about the game but also about its history and about relationships- I am so lucky to have Fern in my life and to share in this sisterhood. Not only am I playing with friends online but have also started playing online with my Mom! We have been talking about the new strategies learned from Fern’s guests!! Keep up the great work! ❤️ Also love the music and sound from Liam! 🎊
  • Nadrallek
    Wonderful source of information and entertainment
    Fern’s podcasts offer a wonderful opportunity to hear from a variety of guests, who bring a diversity of experiences and viewpoints about our favorite game, Mah Jong. Whether it’s the history of the game, or stories about how we came to love it, the podcast delivers lots to enjoy and think about.
  • AnneInk
    What a delight!

  • majbydaron
    From a listener and guest
    What a delight your podcast is and who would have known there are so many topics that include all things Mah Jongg! You make listening easy and made me feel so very comfortable as your guest teaching about patterns and rhythms on the playing card. You are a natural conversationalist and your interview approach is filled with kindness and positivity. I look forward to listening to every episode! Thank you Fern! Daron Barness
  • Arlene Rosenblatt Suchman
    Fifth episode-
    Loved the explanation on the new card. My new mantra is the same as your guest, “ luck comes to the prepared mind”. I also felt that but never could express it properly until now. Thanks . Arlene Rosenblatt Suchman Ninth episode- Enjoyed hearing everyone memories of mother’s playing and how they learned to play themselves. Also hearing the guests speakers , whom I know was a help to realize we will be back playing soon. Thanks. Arlene Rosenblatt Suchman

    Always inspiring and informative
    Love this podcast! Just finished the 4th episode. It was really interesting! Fern is terrific. Calm, confident & focused on good timing with great questions. She remains personable, vulnerable and likable. Perfect recipe for success. Your gentle manner is always inspiring. Thx Fern 😘
  • Redsue500
    AMAZING
    I have had the pleasure of reading Fern’s book, MAH JONGG MONDAYS. I have connected with her on FACEBOOK, and we have become friends there. This podcast is the icing on the cake, or picking four jokers one after the other (I wish). Thank You Fern for sharing your Monday’s with us. No matter how long you play this game, you can always use a few more tips! I cannot wait for the next episode. 🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️

    You had me at ‘Mah’
    Fern you are truly a soul sister with many connections & “b’shert” found through just connecting on Facebook and reading your book, “Mah Jongg Mondays”—such a great outlet for me as a mom, wife and friend. First podcast is great!! Looking forward to more!
  • LBRNJ
    Mah Jongg Joy in a Podcast
    Sheer delight listening to Fern and her guests share their thoughts and perspectives on this game. Fern beautifully explains why Mah Jongg is so much more than a game - it’s an ever evolving sisterhood bond. Bravo!
