During the Great Depression
Sunday, March 12, 1933
Fireside chats were direct communication between the president Franklin D. Roosevelt and the citizens of US. This direct communication played him into the favor of citizens.
I think it should be 'fireside chat'. In which case: Between 1933 and 1944, the USA President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, gave a series of thirty evening informal speeches over the radio, to the American people..
Roosevelt used the fireside chat to restore the public faith back into the government. For example, he ueed them to end the banking crisis. This allowed the public to trsut the bank again. Furthermore, Roosevelt talked about public affairs. This was great as he always reasured the public.
Roosevelt's first Fireside Chat was about the banks and during that time the banks were in a huge crisis because they did not have enough reserves to meet the masses of people who wanted to withdraw their money. So he explained the whole banking process and proclaimed a National Bank Holiday which closed the banks, so they could recover. Roosevelt continued to give periodic Fireside Chats throughout his terms as president, the topic varying according to the times.
Franklin D. Roosevelt used what he called "fireside chats", to explain current events in a simple way to the American people by radio. He didn't necessarily always sit by a fire, and on occasion he was unable to speak personally; actor Art Carney (of The Honeymooners fame) could imitate Roosevelt's voice well, and substituted for him on occasion.Jimmy Carter revived the idea of the fireside chat in the late 1970s, and gave a talk to the American people on television, sitting by a fire and wearing a cardigan sweater. Carter ordered the White House thermostat turned down to 55 , which at first kicked on the air-conditoning, but I think they fixed that, but anyway it explains the sweater.

A fireside chat is a term used to describe informal speeches or conversations delivered by a political leader or public figure to share important information or address key issues. The term originated in the United States in the 1930s, during Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency, when he used radio broadcasts to connect with the American public and discuss various topics of national importance. The term "fireside chat" conveyed a sense of warmth and accessibility, as if the leader was speaking to individuals gathered around a cozy fire.
