- The informal radio speeches President Franklin D. Roosevelt used to communicate with the American people before and during World War II are known as "Fireside Chats." Roosevelt used these broadcasts to speak directly to the American people in a conversational manner, explaining his policies and the state of the nation in a way that was accessible and reassuring.
- The Fireside Chats were a series of 30 evening radio addresses given by President Roosevelt between 1933 and 1944. They were significant because they marked the first time in history that a U.S. president directly addressed the American public through the medium of radio.
