Sure, that's a tough matchup a lot of right-handed bats a lot of big hitters in there How are you able to get yourself through that lineup for six? really just kind of a attack with my two-semeron change up and Try and get as many kind of weak contact as I could Pretty nice role. I mean you've had a good season, but the last five in particular What's been the common thread for those last five starts starting to get really comfortable moving on the mound I'm kind of able to consistently throw two-semers down and away Especially even in like fastball counts and throwing two-semers aggressively and getting ground balls and letting let the defense work Where does that confidence come from or is it just a matter of getting a good feel as the season goes on for that two-semer? I think a little bit of both getting a feel and just kind of have confidence in It being a good pitch is moving a lot. It's hard and Hitting is hard and I've got a good defense. So kind of make them hit it. Bless you Had a good offense tonight as well. What are you thinking as you're watching them put a run after a run there in that fifth inning? just Get out there and get back as fast as I can so they can keep hitting Really put the pressure on them and they were putting together really good a bees and Got a lot of barrels When what I think three homers in a row, I mean you put up an eight spot in the inning and That's what our offense can do Think that you guys are in maybe the toughest of this in baseball. It's mid-junior. You guys have a loving game lead on Toronto Is that surprising to you? No, I mean People always say they at least is tough A lot of good teams in it and I think someone said Toronto would be winning in two divisions. They weren't in ours But they're good teams and we're just trying to play good baseball When you guys are on right now, which is one of the best starts in history of the game for sixty five sixty six games I think we got a lot of talented guys Playing really good baseball right now, so we're trying to stay hot and just keep playing good baseball I wouldn't say ever get used to it, but I love it Just tried to find middle of the plate again Trying to be too perfect getting it down in a way and kind of my ball is just running off the plate It's moving a lot a little more than usual today


My name is David Orban and I am the founder and managing partner of Network Society Ventures. We are a seed stage investment firm investing in the intersection of exponential technologies and decentralization. When 10,000 years ago we adopted the agricultural technologies that started our trajectory as a technological civilization, we didn't know what we were bargaining for. For a long time our lives were worse than in the hunter-gatherer stage, as demonstrated by an average shorter human, by an average shorter life. But today we are at a point, finally, where technology is allowing us to be more human than we would be without. That is the promise of the technologies of the future. To make sure that we can fulfill our human potential. If you ask a hundred people if they like what they do every day, their jobs, 80 out of 100 will say that they hate their jobs.  Human dignity should not be measured based on your economic output and one of the big challenges is to design a new human contract that clearly recognizes this. As we move from proof of work to proof of stake algorithms in the blockchain explorations, we may recognize that all of us humans have a stake in our civilization and the role and the dignity and the value of every human is not recognized by its work but by its stake, because all of the 7 billion brains are needed to address and to solve our grandest challenges. Our assumptions of what is possible as we build ever more complex civilizations, leveraging advanced technologies must not be biased as we learn what the future looks like from Hollywood style dystopia. It is important that we understand that humanity overall achieved what we globally achieved because of the positive effect of technology. It is not a zero sum game. I am not winning because you are losing. We all advance thanks to advancing technology. That is going to be true in the future as well and I believe that blockchain leading to more transparent and accountable organizations is going to be a net positive. Of course, we are at the very beginning of understanding what are the implications of this and we have to be very careful so that as we design systems, they can lead the way to the adaptations and the variations that are going to be necessary as we learn more and more about them. The internet 30-40 years ago was born as a peer-to-peer network. The architecture was inherently decentralized. That is the reason it was designed as a project in the Defense Advanced Project Agency. So today's internet is a perversion. It has been perverted. It has been applied to corporate use with incredibly positive effects in terms of profit making, but it betrayed its original purpose. One of the most important promises of blockchain is to rebalance the overly centralized, desirably vulnerable internet architecture of today towards more reliable and resilient alternatives tomorrow. If you imagine that we are able to deliver on the promise of a space-faring civilization where together with our robots we explore the universe and you ask yourself, are these new projects going to settle their economic transactions? With credit cards or banknotes, evidently the answer is neither. Blockchain is going to play a fundamental part of the future as swarms of intelligent robots are going to mine the asteroid belt for resources that are going to build the civilization of the 21st century. When I was born in Hungary under the communist regime in the previous millennium, the assumption was that fanatic egalitarianism was desirable. But would you really want to stop Elon Musk from going to Mars because there are other problems that we need to solve first? And are you ready to decide that he shouldn't do that? He should be doing that other thing instead? Who are you to make that decision? And if you are not the person making that decision or more likely, if there is nobody who should make that decision, isn't it reasonable that we should allow everybody to pursue their passion, their creativity, even if this leads to differences among individuals in their aspirations and in their successes? This kind of difference should not frighten us. What we should care about is to give everybody the same opportunity. This opportunity today comes from actionable knowledge. Evangelizing, Bitcoin evangelizing blockchain turns your friends, your community into people who participate in the revolution that we are so enthusiastic about. If they are passive, they will potentially stay behind. And one of the challenges for the future, whether from a financial inclusion point of view or from the point of view of a rapid evolution of the definition of what it means to be human, is going to be how to give support and how to include in the future civilization those who knowingly decide to stay behind.


Welcome and thank you so very much for joining us today for another fantastic episode of The Nonprofit Show. When you see this yellow, you know that it's special. This is a non-profit thought leader episode. So we have Anne McCauley Lopez joining us today. Anne is the SEO content writer with agency content writer. It's a lot to say right there, but you've got a lot to say during our episode as we talk about does an NPO need SEO? And so that's something we're going to dive in and pick Anne's brain. So before we do that, we of course want to make sure that you know who we are if we haven't quite met you yet. Julia Patrick joins us. She's the CEO of the American Nonprofit Academy. I'm Jarrett Ransom, your non-profit nerd CEO of the Raven Group. And we are continuously in gratitude for each and every one of these presenting sponsors that you see on the screen. If you have not checked these companies out, make sure you do so right after the episode, not now, but briefly after the episode, because these companies exist to help you do more good and to move your mission forward in, around, throughout and all those other good prepositions in your community. So we're excited to have their support and we are excited to have Anne back. Anne, welcome and thanks for joining us today. Thank you, thank you for having me back. It's great to see you both.  It's been quite a while. And we really, you kind of, I think for both of us made us think about our own businesses and what we can be doing and what we should be doing. And then we reconnected and we were talking about this issue of SEO. And so we were like, wow, we need to get you back on to really help us understand what this means and if it's important or if it's something that, it's just one more thing we need to be maybe thinking about. So let's start with the basic premise. I think we all know what we think we know what SEO is, but what is it really? SEO stands for search engine optimization. And really it's how well is your website found on search engines like Google? For nonprofits, does it make sense to, you know, we're talking about, does it make sense to have SEO to invest in that? And I think there's a level for nonprofits and smaller businesses, you know, small, medium-sized businesses where it makes sense. And you don't necessarily even need to hire someone who is an SEO specialist, right? We don't need to dive too deep, but there are some things that we can do that will help the website get found a little bit faster. And that's really important. You know, one of the things we've talked about over these last couple of years is how the expansion of knowledge has truly gone throughout the nation. You know, for a lot of our nonprofits, our constituency base, these individuals are no longer in our backyard.  So having this SEO search engine optimization is really necessary. And I agree with you, Julia. When Anne shared this in particular about blogging, I thought, oh my gosh, I had no idea that it went to that whole new level. So I'm excited to learn more about how you help nonprofits in this SEO space. And then also you talked about how we can tell our story, our nonprofit story, by using backlinks. And I hope you're gonna tell us what a backlink really is as well. Yes, so one of the signals for Google that your website is relevant and of value and active is through backlinks. And what those are are articles that you post on websites that are not your own that include a link back to your website. So we've got Jared's website and you blog or you write an article somewhere else and it links. There's a link that says Jared Ransom, the Raven group and it comes back to your website. So when we write on like a grant station for you because we've done some work together, right? We talked about that last time. Always ask if someone says, do you wanna be a guest blogger, a guest writer or a thought leader and write an article for our website? Make sure that you get a link back to yours. Those are really valuable and a signal to Google that your site is of value because you're a thought leader somewhere else on a bigger website that gets more hits. So even if it's medium, mediums a website. Yeah, it's really, it's a powerful tool. It takes some work, but it also as we'll talk about today can be used in a PR strategy so that you're really thinking about the same ideas and creating content that is all linked together and you're not creating a bunch of content that people maybe aren't going to read or interact with. Great. Okay, now back up a little bit because I have never asked, and no one's ever asked me about that. And every day we are linking our guests and we're setting all these things out. I mean, I'm not Kevin Pace, our executive producer. But I see this activity and I see this web of interconnectivity is it fair to say that we're not really using this that people don't really understand this? Maybe probably in the spaces I run in with SEO experts. Yeah, we talk about it a lot, but that's really, you know, years ago, they'd say be a guest blogger on any website and it's really better now. We know because Google makes changes, right? It's not just a link that comes back to your website, but it's valuable websites, websites bigger than yours. I'll never write for a website unless I get that link. What's the point, right? Me, to make sure that you get that link. And for organizations, you know, really looking at building credibility and having that awareness to build branding and build awareness, I can see the value of those backlinks. And I can imagine it's as simple as asking, will there be an opportunity, right? Because that helps to build the credibility and back to that awareness. It sure does. It sure does. It's good. For example, if there's a media group or a newspaper and they publish online, get that link back because that newspaper is going to be bigger than your website. Absolutely. Right, or what's the other one? I wrote another one down. Oh, a parent organization.   It does lend credibility to your organization and it gets the word out to more folks about what you're doing, especially now to your point, Jared, in a digital age where we're not just seeking in our local economy, we're seeking folks around the world. We've got volunteers around the world. We've got donors around the world and we wanna get that word out about the organization. You know, I love that you said see more pictures. I mean, is that the sort of action or what are some of those things that would entice and encourage somebody to use that backlink? A call to action, even in your bio to learn more about your organization, to learn more about your projects, maybe they're interested in learning more. I click it because I'm a geek, right?  I just wanna know more about them. It also, you know, your website will have your social media on it. So there's kind of a connection there where you're even getting more communication with the audience that you want through those actions. It is, you know, where it makes sense to do so. You know what I mean? Like it's related to the organization. It's related to a particular project and it makes sense. Then it really, it really does help boost that SEO. I had another thought and it escaped me. So I'm sure it will come up again as we talk more. One of the thoughts I had, Anne, and because organizations, you know, nonprofits, they're also seeking that corporate partnership and that strategy. And so to ask the corporations and the businesses to maybe use the logo or a link on their community, you know, support page that says we're a proud partner with X, Y, and Z agency. That is another great way to build, you know, some of the SEO to come back to the organization. And again, that awareness and branding. So I think that's, you know, I've already learned a lot because this is not my zone of expertise.  And so I totally dive into this wholeheartedly. But I'm curious if you could talk more about your area of expertise, especially when it relates to the power of blogging and how we can best use SEO and backlinks through the power of blogging to really build out this credibility and the awareness that we're talking about. Yes. I think the key is to make sure that we're using keywords as we're telling those stories. So when I was on last time, we talked about telling the story of the organization and what projects are you working on and what do you want to reach? And is there a call out for volunteers? It's also important to make sure as we do that to weave some keywords through it. Google doesn't like when we pack an article with keywords. We used to do that and it's called Black Hat SEO and you get slapped on the hand by Google and it's not good. But if we can weave some things into it, into the article with keywords. So I have four resources that I like to use one is Google, of course, but here's the trick.  Look at the list of other words. Right, so it's fun to pick anything and do it and sometimes it'll give you a laugh but for research purposes and for what we're talking about today, don't hit enter. When you do hit enter, you'll come up with some similar articles and there's another section called people also ask. So when you do a Google search and you've noticed that that I really use for blog post ideas. I shouldn't say that out loud, that's the little secret I have but it's the other questions that people are asking that are related to the main idea that you've Googled. So those are two ways to just use Google to get higher rankings on Google. Kind of use its own tool. There's also answer the public where you do the same thing. You can ask questions and it will give you related questions to what you're asking to give you some ideas to generate some key words. Maybe it's simply moving the words around. It's a different word order that people are searching. It could be that simple. Maybe it's adding your geographic area if you're looking for something specific in a specific geographic area. And seed keywords is a new one that I've started using and it's the same idea as that we put in the main idea or the big idea and see what kind of pops up. For me, when I'm stuck, I go to those places and I say, okay, here's what I'm writing about and what else are people asking about this? How can I phrase it differently? How can we be a little bit more creative in what we're sharing? Because we don't simply wanna say, we need volunteers. It maybe it's five ways to be a great volunteer for a blank, blank, blank organization in city name. I don't know. But those are some resources that we can use. The other piece of SEO that I wanted to make sure that we mentioned and I kind of learned this along the way is that Google reads our websites in a particular order and in a particular way. So there are things that we can do to structure the website and structure the homepage and where things are linked and how they're linked that help you get better search engine results. I have a website designer that I've worked with and that is her specialty. She said, Anne, I do nothing with content. She said, I'm going to call you, let's do a project together. I know how to make it pretty on kind of the back end. It looks like a beautiful website. The way Google reads it is how she creates it. She also does, I think we maybe talked a little bit about this, some tagging in the background, meta tags and headers and all these things that are very technical on the back end of the website. That's why you hire someone, right? They know I hire someone to do that for me. I do the front end content and we'll talk about that front end also when we, I think further in the conversation. But the website can be set up in a certain way that Google actually even reads the website better. So then you bring in someone like me and we restructure the content in a way that makes sense. Typically we do branded content but more generic. And then within the blog, what we do is get more specific. We want to talk about a specific project, a specific call to action. And we create that strategy plan that we talked about last time and leave room for other things that happen obviously throughout the year, especially for nonprofits where it's a moving target, right? Like we don't know what's going to happen. Last year, good example. Yeah, the last two years, good example. Yeah, oh yeah. It is two years now, isn't it? That was long. I'm fine.  And so that's how I feel right now with you talking about this, because even when it comes to some of those simple Google searches, it's like, that seems so basic, yet for those of us that this is not their world, that does not seem to be our default action when we're stuck. So this has already been of great value. And I have a very novice question. So when you type this into the Google search and you do not hit enter yet and you see what it pulls up, you know, yeah, the different words or phrases, is that because Google analytics has pulled like an aggregate of some of the most common searches? Is that what's pulling up? Yes, yes. There's some YouTube videos, movie stars pull up. They're name and like a verb, like an action word. And there's a list and they go, why would someone ask that about me? They're like, well, there must be a lot of people asking. You know, Ann. And that's exactly what it is. I think it's interesting that you mentioned this because I think a lot of times in the nonprofit sector, we get involved in our own vernacular and the dialogue and the nomenclature, the words that we use are not necessarily the words that our donor population uses. And I kind of see what you're talking about with helping us to bridge some of those communication factors, they're gonna actually help draw more attention to us as opposed to some of the dialogue that maybe we're pushing or creating that doesn't really mesh with the population. Yeah. We all get our own jargon, right? I mean, we use a nation, I think, speak in acronyms. But it's also our own jargon. And I think this tip is so crucial and I think will change the way that many of us, most of us look at the words that we use and how we might choose to rephrase our narratives to help us tell our story and to use this through the power of blogging. One of the things you had teased earlier, Ann, is really about some PR strategy and looking at how we can use the power of blogging and move that into a public relations initiative and strategy. And I'm curious if you can share some of that with us now. Sure. When I started my business as a writer, it was 2010 and my very first client was someone who was a PR professional. And at that point in time, they didn't know what to do with social media. I don't even think it had a name yet. PR, social media, blogging, we were all kind of clumped together and because we're all reaching people, right? So PR is really more, we've kind of separated back out.  And then there's this content and social media. And I think especially, especially for nonprofits who have a story to tell, who have success stories, who can talk about who they've served and how they've served them, how they're using that money that the donors have given and what they're doing with those funds. We really do have a story from a PR perspective, right? Like we can go to the news and say, come on out and see us building our house. Come on out and see us at the food bank and Tuesday, turkey day, what do they call it? They collect turkeys at the grocery store and all the news people are out at grocery stores for Thanksgiving, the Turkey Tuesday. You know, whatever it is, there's a story to it. So what we can do is we can take those stories and we can put them on those other websites and get those backlinks. But what we can also do is use those stories on our blogs and we may put the press release right on our blog. You might do that. I've done that for my own business. My clients have done that. In addition to the other things that we're doing, you can use that piece of your website. The good thing about that too is there's, to get the attention of Google, they like when we add new pages. Well, guess what? Every blog post is a new page on your website. I did not know that. I did not know that. Yes, yes, because it has a separate link. So when we say add pages to your website, people think they have to have a page for each service. Now, some places that makes sense. If you're launching a new campaign, that absolutely makes sense to do that. But it also makes sense to be adding articles, blog posts on the website because it's a new page and Google loves when we add new content. It loves when we change the content on an existing page and it loves when we add new content. So I think there's some strategy there that we can utilize and that way we're talking about Turkey Tuesday and we're putting it out on one big news website but we're also utilizing it on our own to talk about the success of that project. And I use Turkey Tuesday because it's November, right? I think it's too, it's getting creative. We get stuck in the weeds of our own organizations and we don't see the possibilities. And so that's a way that we can repurpose content kind of creatively and strategically in addition to whatever we're doing on a consistent basis. What was, I did it again. Well, let me. How else do that? Let me interrupt you again. So when you say this, which I love this idea but can you give me a framework for time? Is this like something that we should be doing like every day, every week, every month, every quarter? What does that, if you don't mind me saying workload look like? Yeah, that's where I get caught up. I here's that they can consistency is what is consistent for your organization. Okay. So most of the folks that I work with, we're doing two articles a month. Okay. Most of them. We're not doing huge SEO strategies. Get us number one on Google, which is ridiculous, by the way. We're doing. Pro tip, I love those. Yeah, pro tip. We're doing things to get us consistently seen and get us, you know, we've got original content. We can share it on social and our newsletters. We can make a video about it, you know, all those things. So whatever is consistent, whatever your organization can do consistently. What I would suggest, especially for nonprofit and especially because there are seasons when it's busier or there's a season of fundraising or a season of a particular project kickoff and final reveal or whatever that we leave enough space in that plan so that we can drop those special events. So maybe it's once a month. Maybe it is two a month during the busy seasons where we know we have maybe an educational piece that maybe it's hired out. Maybe you hire somebody to write that piece and then somebody else writes the PR piece or the event piece. I don't think it needs to be a lot. I think it has to be, it's more than it's consistent in whatever way you can do that. Yeah, and then you can share it out to those other places that we talk about. I'm so glad that you mentioned kind of those seasons because as I think about, you know, the end of the year and that's where we are, then this is a very busy fundraising season. More than 30% of operating dollars come in in this final quarter of the year. And so that's exactly, you know, this is the season of giving. It's really hectic and fundraising, but another really big season, honestly, is an event season, right? And that of course has been shaken and stirred in all kinds of ways over the last couple of years. But looking at the event season as well as, you know, the final push for fundraising at the end of the year, there's a lot to be said and a lot of other noise because we also talk about 1.8 million nonprofits are registered throughout the state, the state's plural, the US. And so there's a lot of organizations out there that are also vying for attention and vying for donations and vying for, you know, volunteerism. So there's a lot going on, but I really think looking at this power of blogging, looking at the backlinks and the SEO, which is really what we started with is what exactly is this and how do we as an organization keep our finger on the pulse when it comes to all of the moving targets? I'm so glad to know that, you know, geeks as you called yourself and exist in this world for this type of work. So yeah, Julia, I think you had something you were gonna say as well because I'm just a little dumbfounded. Well, I think the thing of it is that I appreciate that you linked how this works together because it is kind of a mystery. But the other thing too, and I don't know about you, Jared, I feel like what Anne has shared is very achievable.  That is just like, oh, you know, but I liked what you gave me was almost something that it's, okay, I can add that to my plate. Or sometimes these things are just so overwhelming that it's like, that's never gonna happen. So. Here's an idea.  Can I just brain dump and email you or send you over the press release that we wrote and can you make it SEO friendly? Absolutely. That is something that I do with my clients that I'd be happy to do with nonprofits.  Yes, we're telling the story. Yes, we're telling the news. We make it a little bit different, right? Cause Google likes to see it different on different sites about 30% different. So we judge it. You know, I love the word judge and we add those keywords in so that we can add it to your website so it attracts folks to your website in addition to the backlinks and social media and newsletters and all the things. And we can do that. You know, you can do that pretty simply just having somebody on board. I don't think you, I really don't think for nonprofits, especially given what's happened in the world and everything that's happening, everyone's strapped, right? For what do you spend your money on? So it's a way or what I was gonna say was you don't need to hire the SEO people because oh no, we can do this. We'll figure out what these words cost on the Google. No, we don't need to do that. Big brands need to do that. Big, big brands who have a lot of traffic can afford to do that. For us folks that are going listen, we're doing a really good thing out in the world. We want more people to know about it. We can make that website readable by Google and add content consistently so that it keeps Google's attention. I love it. I wanna point out that you have this fabulous blog article on your site, agencycontentwriter.com and I'm showing the card on it. SEO is a PR strategy. It's really, really a great article. And especially if you've watched this episode today and then you need to take this back to leadership or someone in your team and try and explain why you need to be doing this. I loved, loved this article and I really wanna recommend it. Again, you can go to Ann's website, agencycontentwriter.com and check it out because it's really well done. Here's Ann's information. Check her out. I love your energy. I love your integrity. I always feel like you're not trying to sell us something that we're gonna have to cut out from our budget elsewhere that you're giving us ideas and strategies that we can do. We might need to bring somebody in. We might need to get some help but they're not just so overwhelming that they sound fantastical. So check out Ann's information. Again, Julia Patrick here with you today alongside my trusted non-profit nerd. I would like to say she's my non-profit nerd. She's also your non-profit nerd. I feel like there's enough to go around in this nerd phase. Well, and we are glad for that. Jared Ransom, CEO of the Raven Group. Again, we wanna thank all of our sponsors. Without you, we would not be here. We're very excited. We added a new sponsor this month, your part-time controller. So yay team on that. Again, this has been the non-profit show and Jared, this is like got me looking at the website that we run in a different way. It's actually these backlinks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's really cool. I'm just thrilled. Hey everybody, this has been great. Ann, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You really are a non-profit thought leader and we are delighted to say that you're somebody that we work with. We have you back on next month if I'm not mistaken. And so look for that because we'll get more of Ann's genius. Hey, in the meantime, we like to end every episode with our mantra. Stay well, so you can do well. We'll see you back here tomorrow everyone. Thanks so much.


Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Hacker Jeopardy 2014, the 20th year of the Mulligan. By the way, nobody seems to understand what a Mulligan was. Anybody play golf? Yeah, you know, you take a swing and a miss, you get to try it again.  But only one. Okay, I'd like to introduce our crew. We've got the ref. I can see he's well loved, most referees are. Is here, they're stage manager, rock star, and in general, assassin.  Sherry, are you ready to come up on stage? This is Vanna Vinyl. Yeah.  This is the best part of my job. Miss Kitty, you kissed me last year and you're not getting it again. Hey, by the way, Eric and Karen, are you here? I remember the couple they got engaged last night. What the hell's wrong with you if you're here? You should be back in the hotel room. We all signed a nice card for them. So hopefully they'll appreciate it. Welcome, Joe. And by the way, for this gentleman who is now going to get married and enjoy the bonds of holy matrimony, he needs to learn to speak a new language. And so I brought for him a translator. And so when he gets home at night from a hard day of work, he will hear the nice opportunity to say, and so far. Anyway, without further ado, let's see where our teams are going to be for game number three. Team number one. Team Laservals. Seat in the first seat. Get your briefing. Alex is going to brief you and inform you of the rules. Number two. I love this buzzword compliant. By the way, scored four out of five in the trials, which is pretty darn good. Nobody got a perfect score, by the way, in the trials, which is pretty sucky, but hopefully someone will come up better. There's one guy who came up, and he was sitting there the whole time this afternoon, and he was like the last guy to come up. And they got skunked, like 0 for 5. And he said, I knew every single one till I got up here. It's amazing what bright lights will do for you. So, number two. Number three. A chance to come back from the past.

I wrote this down, so I wouldn't say it wrong. Yeah. Okay, the wager is 500. Let's see what else we're playing for in addition to 500. All right, while we do this, here we go.

One of those null beers could be nasty. What are septa and sexa? What are septa and sexa? You get no sexa tonight there, boy. You're wrong. But you get a null beer, and one of them has a surprise in it. Let's see what we're going to get for you. Everybody open at the same time. Okay, here it comes. Open on one, two.

And now, another tale well calculated to keep you in. Most of us live out our lives in quiet desperation. We set by nameless fears plagued by unconscious guilt. We adjust our neuroses to reality as best we may and somehow stay clear of the loony bin. A fortunate is he who knows what frightens him. For then he can do something about it as does the young lady in the story you're about to hear. Certainly, there's nothing like action to dispel anxiety. And any psychiatrist can tell you that if you face up to your fear, it usually disappears. Or does it? Well, we'll find out as in the moment we listen to Nightmare. Written for suspense by Lucille Fletcher. The Time Election Night, 1956. The place? VBR Selection Headquarters in New York, Robert Frost speaking. This is the way the total popular vote looks to President at 730 Eastern Standard Time. 30 minutes past 7 in New York, Eisenhower has 222,000 votes. Stevenson has 196,000 votes. An early tabulation. Four years ago, Election Night. That story is history. And once again, Election Year has rolled around. Election Night swiftly approaches. And Robert Trout will serve as anchorman for CBS News Election Headquarters. With him will be a staff of top CBS Newsmen to analyze major trends. Edward R. Murrow, Bole Thomas, and Eric Severi. To relay the overall progress of the vote, Blair Clark. Howard K. Smith will interpret electronic computer data. Night long, get election story from top-ranking CBS News on CBS Radio. That, Miss Rhodes, it's impossible. This is a maximum security prison. We haven't had an escape in years. Well, you have one now, Warden. Tom Nixon. How can you be sure? I saw him in New York City two days ago. Did you know him well? Well enough. He was my mother's starboarder for years. Where I sat opposite him at the dinner table from the time I was a girl of 15 until he murdered her. And now somehow he's escaped from here and he's after me. Miss Rhodes, it's impossible, I say. Warden, great. Ten years ago, when mother was found murdered, I knew it couldn't have been anyone but Tom. I testified against him. I was the chief, practically the only witness at the trial.  He swore in the open court to get even with me. Ten years I've lived in deadly fear of him. And now he's free. Where exactly did you see the prisoner, Miss Rhodes? That's just the point. That's why I know he's after me. I saw him in the building where I live. Well, I don't see how. He has a job there running the elevator at night. I live all alone in a small three-room penthouse on the 18th floor of an office building. The other night, about a week ago, I came home alone from the movies after midnight. I was already in the elevator before I noticed there was a new night man. It was Tom. His hair had turned white and there was a stoop to his shoulder. But everything about him, the crook of his head, his high, thin nose, the hollow cheekbones were all the same. And then he turned and stared at me. I could see those deadly pale cold eyes. Those heavy eyebrows. That familiar, quiet, sarcastic mouth. Oh, Miss. Oh, my foot. Yes, the penthouse, please. The penthouse? Where's that? On the roof? On the roof, please, 18th floor. Okay. It was like being in a cage with a wild bee. He kept watching, hearing at me furtively as the elevator moved upward with agonizing slow. I shrank back to hide my thing. The light in the car was dim. My only hope was that he didn't recognize me. This is your phone, Miss. Thank you. Good night. Good night. Good night. You can go back down. I don't need anything. Thank you. What's the matter? Did you forget your key? No, no. It's just...it's right here in my bag. I'll find it in a minute. Want me to let you in? Let me in? No, no. I got pass keys to all the doors. It's no trouble. No thanks, but I... No, no. Here, here. I have it right here. Good night. In just a moment, we will return for the second act of... Since show business is the business of entertainment, performers are far from dull folk. Now, this is a matter you'll have fun verifying each Sunday night when the Mitch Miller show brings sparkling show business chatter your way over these CBS radio stations. So give Mitch Miller and his guests a listen and prove it to yourself. Now, an average attendance at one of Mr. M. Suarez might include a Broadway actress chatting about her craft with a comedian. Around on the other side of the round table, you might hear a singer try out a few songs for size on a film director or producer also in attendance. But no matter who's on hand for this happy open house, no matter what stars of the entertainment world are banding the banter about, you can be sure a good time will be had by all. Yourself included. So Sunday nights, get better acquainted with your favorite limelight personalities on the Mitch Miller show. And that was the first time you saw him? Yes, Warden. And that was all he did, or said? Yes, but it wasn't so much what he said. It was the awful feeling that he was only playing with me, torturing me until he was ready to kill me. Warden Graves, I don't even have a telephone. I've always been afraid to be listed in the phone book. And the only way up to that penthouse is by that one elevator. I was trapped up there at his mercy. What did you do? I spent the night crouched against the wall with a flat iron in my hand, waiting for that key to click in my lock. But it didn't? No. No, it didn't. The next day I began to wonder if I wasn't imagining the whole thing. Then that night... You think he recognized you then? Recognized me. Warden Graves, I haven't changed. Perhaps I've grown a little thinner, but don't you see, he'd come there only to trap me. He'd taken that particular job, plotted, schemed. It was only a question of when, when he was going to do it, when Max was going to fall. He kept grinning at me as I stepped out of the elevator. And then just as I was going to bed... Oh, is it? What do you want? What are you doing here? It's your laundry. They told me to put it inside in case you weren't home. You might have given me time to answer the door. I'm sorry, Miss Rhodes. I'm very sorry. Don't let it happen again. Good night. I was just thinking, there's no way to get up here or down except in my elevator. Even the service elevator doesn't get up this far, does it? Here, aren't you? I don't understand what you're talking about, Miss. I don't understand what you're talking about. Turn for the third act out. Ever notice the way Pepsi Cola has of disappearing fast? It's easy to understand when you remember how every ice-cold ounce of Pepsi tingles with a taste that everybody in the family enjoys. And then, too, there's no time limit on Pepsi. Day or night, with meals or by itself, work days or weekends for parties or all by yourself. Ah, but the thing that really makes Pepsi go fast is its light touch. Pepsi always refreshes lightly, without filling, so a Pepsi just never tastes like too much. To make sure your supply of Pepsi meets the demand, always buy an extra carton or two. You can't run a household without it. Be sociable. Don't stop with Pepsi. I haven't seen you since, Warden. I barricaded myself in again that night, and next morning I got down to the public phone and put through the call to you. But it wasn't any use. And it was the day I was out of town? Yes, but I still don't see why they couldn't have told me. After all, I was giving them information. Well, it's one of our strictest regulations that also apartment state penitentiary never to discuss any of our prisoners over the telephone. That's what they said. So you came all the way out here in person? Yes. Now you want me to send someone to apprehend this man? I want you to bring him back. That's all. Back where he belongs. Mr. Rhodes, I can't bring Tom Nixon back. He's here. Oh, no. No, Warden Graves, please.  I've talked to him face to face. Maybe there's someone here calling himself Tom Nixon. But he's escaped. He's free. I know it. Well, you just, uh, step this way with me, Miss Rhodes. No, no, I don't want to see. I don't want to see his cell or talk to anybody. Tom Nixon is dead, Miss Rhodes. He's buried in the prison cemetery. I'd like for you to see his grave. This is a photograph taken of him just a week before he died. See, he wasted away quite a bit. He was in the infirmary all last year. He became very religious, too, because he hadn't spent a good deal of his time praying. Praying? Yeah. All the fights seemed to go out of him as soon as he knew that he was seriously ill. Now, you'd say this was his picture? Wouldn't you, Miss Rhodes? Yes, it's Tom. All right. Now, these are little personal belongings. Ordinarily, we turned these over to the family, but in Tom's case, well, we couldn't trace the family. Now, you would recognize these as his? Yes, I... I don't know them all, but that gold watch. He used to wear it every Sunday. His mother's. He wrote a couple of notes before he died to a fellow prisoner into the prison chaplain. Yeah. You recognize this handwriting? Yes. This seems to be Tom's. Well, Miss Rhodes, you feel a little better about your elevator operator now.   No, not at all. But the likeness was so extraordinary. It was almost like seeing... A ghost? Oh, come on, Miss Rhodes.  It's only that...  Guilt complex? Well, I'm not guilty of anything. Well, what I mean is that Tom has been on your mind now for ten years. You testified against him. He threatened you. Gradually, you came to see him everywhere. No. No. Only this once. Only these last few nights. All right. But now you know the truth. That should clear your fears forever. Tom's dead and buried. Go back here and take a look at this night man again. Now that you know Tom's dead, I'll lay odds the whole resemblance will vanish. I hope so. My advice to you, Miss Rhodes, is that we to go straight home. Use that elevator as much as possible to get acquainted with this night man. For your own sake, try to get the better of these hallucinations.  Just hallucinations. In a moment, we continue with the concluding act of suspense. Maybe you'll recall this tuneful reminder of times past. This is Dennis James with something else worth remembering. It's this. It's all right to stay regular with Kellogg's All-Bran. See, it's the normal, natural way to useful regularity. The whole brand content of Kellogg's All-Bran supplies your system with all the bulk-forming food that you need every day. There's only one All-Bran. It's Kellogg's All-Bran. So relieve irregularity from lack of bulk, as millions do, with a bowl full of Kellogg's All-Bran each morning. A-L-B-R-A-N. It's Kellogg's All-Bran. Good evening. Good evening, Miss. Could you help me with these bags, please? Okay. At all, Miss? Yes, thank you. This is for you, Charles. No, thank you, Miss. I never take tips. No, it's all right. I'd like you to have it. I'm sure the superintendent wouldn't mind. The superintendent hasn't anything to do with it. No. Well, aren't we going to start? Yeah. All right. Been out of town? Yes, I have. Yeah, I haven't seen you for a couple of nights. I was in the country visiting with a friend. Oh. It's beautiful weather out in the country this time of year. I wouldn't know. Oh, my floor already. No, it's not. Then why are we stopping? The elevator's stuck.  Cut off? Uh-huh. But how could that happen? It's never happened before, as long as I've lived here. Well, sooner or later, I guess it had to happen. Well, isn't there some way we can get it back on? Some buzzer for the seller or something? If the power's off, the buzzer isn't working. So one of the lights is still on. The light? Yeah. They'll probably go out in a minute, though, and then it'll be black in here. Black is the grave. Oh. Let's get out of here. Open the door. Can't. She won't budge. But you haven't even tried. I don't have to try. We're stuck between floors. The door is flush with solid wall. Solid wall? Yeah. Kind of like being bricked up in a cell. But there must be some way out of here. Some... Isn't there a little door in the roof? Something you can pry open? Something you can climb up out of and into the shaft? Don't see any. But what are we going to do? What are we going to do? Wait. Wait until somebody comes along downstairs and finds the elevator stuck and then rings up the superintendent. But that might be ours. Might be. You're wasting your breath. Everybody's left the building. I know because they're all signed out. Nobody's down in the basement. There won't be any passengers or I ringing for an elevator this time of night. You seem awfully sure about all that. Jumpy, ain't you? No. No, I suppose really there's nothing to be afraid of. Sooner or later they'll come. Oh, sure. Sooner or later. It's just that being stuck up here between these... You're not... You're not jumpy on account of me. You? I know. Of course not. But you were kind of jumpy the other night. With me. Weren't you? The other night? When I brought the laundry into your apartment. Unexpectedly. Oh, that? That was a mistake. A mistake? I just thought you were someone else that's a friend of mine. Someone I've always been afraid of. Oh. But now I've learned it couldn't be you because this friend's dead. Dead and buried. Dead and buried? Yes. What was his name? Maybe I... Maybe I know him. Oh, light went out. I knew they'd go sooner or later. Oh, no. No, they can't be. I can't see her alone in the dark with you. Oh, so you are jumpy with me. No. No. I thought you said this guy was dead and buried. He is. He's screaming. What are you screaming like that? Only it's so dark in here. So close and creepy and... What did you do to this friend that makes you so jumpy? Do? Do to him? Well, nothing. I didn't do a thing. No. It was he. He threatened me. He was a murderer.  He was our border for ten years. And one afternoon... Don't move! I'm not moving. Go on. One afternoon I... I came home and... There was mother lying on the floor with her clothes. No! It's you, Tom. Isn't it? I thought you said your friend was dead and buried. Stop it. Stop torturing me. Tell me the truth. You escaped, didn't you?  And it was someone else, someone else's grave. Just as I thought you escaped and found me here. Answer me! Just send you there. It was only because I loved you, Tom. I hated mother. And I hated you for loving her.  To me. She treated me like a slave. If you'd spoken one kind word... One word. To let me know you loved me. There's a passenger ringing in the lobby. You're not, Tom. No, miss. You're...  Not me. It was all just a... just a crazy hallucination like... like the war in the city.  Oh, forgive me. Please forgive me for being so sad. There's nothing to forgive.  I didn't mean them. It was just because I was beside myself. What silly things, ma'am? Oh, those silly things about... about my mother and Tom and... Here. This is for you. No, no. I insist this time. I insist. I'm sorry. But I'm afraid I... I never accept tips. Oh, but please... Particularly from a dame who framed my... twin brother. Good evening, Warden. Good evening, Lieutenant Nixon. She's confessed. Yeah, I thought she would, Lieutenant. No. You've been listening to Nightman. Written for Suspense by Lucille Fletcher.
