While other presidents had been on the radio, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt became known as the first "radio president" because of how effectively he used this mass medium. His radio addresses to the public, called "Fireside chats," were meant to reassure Americans that things were getting better and that he understood their fears; they were his way of connecting with the public throughout the Great Depression. The topics varied, but their purpose was to be informative, mainly about what he and his administration were doing, and his plans to help stabilize the economy and get Americans back to work.
