The primary way Franklin Roosevelt communicated with the American public in the early days of the New Deal was through his radio addresses, which came to be known as "fireside chats." These were a series of informal and conversational speeches that he delivered over the radio, directly addressing the American people from the White House. Roosevelt used these chats to explain and promote his policies, reassure the public, and build confidence during a time of economic crisis. These broadcasts were incredibly popular and played a significant role in connecting Roosevelt with the American people and shaping public opinion.
