Listen: Heather and Sterling on From the Kitchen to the Table

Heather and Sterling Cannon joined Sandra of the Pickle and Tile Club on her podcast to talk about how Bam Good Time started and what helps a mahjong club thrive.

Heather and Sterling sat down with Sandra of the Pickle and Tile Club in Cheshire, Connecticut, for her podcast, From the Kitchen to the Table. Sandra runs her club on Bam Good Time, so the conversation started where most of ours do: at a mahjong table.

What We Talked About

  • How Bam Good Time started, and the first thing Sterling built for Heather's games
  • Why mahjong feels like a moving meditation, and why so many people are looking for that right now
  • The social side of mahjong, and why getting people out of the house and around a table matters
  • What the clubs that thrive have in common
  • How to start a club, even if you want to start tomorrow

Thank You, Sandra
