In this episode, Radio Matt sits down with game designer and pastor Joseph Rhea to unpack the creative story behind Plate It Up, a family-friendly party game inspired by food competition shows like Chopped. Joseph shares how his love for games grew through college, Gen Con, and friendships with fellow designers, eventually leading to his first published title through Blue Wasatch Games.
They talk about designing for families, creating fun without crude humor, the challenges of working with a publisher, and what creative projects Joseph is exploring next. It’s a warm, encouraging conversation about parenting, creativity, hospitality, and the power of gaming to build meaningful community.
