NPR is National Public Radio. Local community colleges generally carry it on
their stations. Each Sunday at around 8:35 eastern time, the puzzle editor
of the NY Times, Will Shortz, joins the program along with the winner of the
previous weeks winner. He then presents a word puzzle for the listener to
solve, in parts. It's fun.

"Swifties" are Tom Swifties, where a statement is attributed to Tom (or
another individual) and a descriptive word is added at the end. For example:

"The bypass was successful, the cardiologist said heartily!"

More word fun here, including the occasional swifties:
