Thank you Mike Hurley and here hello my co-host Mike Hurley.

Hi Jason Snell I am so excited we are here for the fifth annual Upgradies awards. The

Upgradians have been voting en masse. I cannot believe this is our fifth year for the upgradees.

How incredible is that?

When I think back to the 2014 upgradees,

the first annual upgradees,

or as we said at the time, the upgrades, because there's no such thing as first annual,

it's hard to believe how far we've come in that people submit things and we're organized and five years in we have a track

record now we have a history of of of giving out awards it's a it's quite thing. It is everything I think you dreamed about five years ago and more.

It is now. It is a thing that is looked forward to, it is on the podcast calendar.

And I wanted to do something special for the fifth year

so we have something new and that is Upgradeies.com I have been working with

Zach Knox, Zach is responsible for the interactive draft scorecards and

with Zach's help we have built a website that hosts every runner-up and winner of all of the

upgrades in history including the 2018 so I would maybe suggest you can go to the

website but don't look at the 2018s if you don't want to

see spoilers but there's all going to be there and that is going to live now and every

year we will add more and more to that site we'll add all of the information and I want to get your feedback and we can try and add some different features. But I'm super excited about this. It has all of the information going back from 2014 to now with every runner-up and every winner in all the categories
