NPR Sunday Puzzle

**update** I believe the answer is CATS CAST

Good thing I went to the NPR site to verify this because I misunderstood and thought the 4 letter word created 2 two letter words - that was almost impossible! Here's this week's puzzle. Wish I had time to work on it now:(

Think of a four-letter word with a short "A" sound, and specifically the "A" is the second letter. Switch the third and fourth letters and you'll get a new word, also with a short "A" sound. The two words go together to make a phrase that names something that existed from 1982 to 2000. What is it?
