Radio and print were the only forms of mass media at the time.
FDR's informal radio speeches to the people
Roosevelt's radio broadcasts to the nation. His way of reassuring the American public
Their full name was the "Fireside Chats" and they were a series of radio addresses to the country by Franklin Roosevelt during his presidencies. Radio was the main medium at that time (before TV) and Roosevelt had the perfect radio voice. People clustered around the radio to hear Roosevelt's "Fireside Chats" like they do around the TV today to watch "American Idol".
They were a weekly radio address by FDR. This was in a time before TV, but just about everyone had a radio so FDR used it to talk to the American people.
Roosevelt used fireside chats as a way of communicating with the American people about the war. The chats were broadcast over radio. This worked well for Roosevelt because people liked his voice and because listeners were not reminded of his symptoms of polio.
Franklin D Roosevelt
Roosevelt's "Fireside Chats" were radio broadcasts he presented to the American people to help them understand what the nation was doing to improve the conditions of society throughout the depression.
Radio communication is the transmission of information through radio waves between two or more devices. It is used for various purposes such as broadcasting, two-way communication like walkie-talkies and cell phones, and communication with satellites and spacecraft. Radio communication relies on frequencies within the radio spectrum to transmit signals over short or long distances.
Through the radio. Before the Depression, radios became popular. At that time, affluence allowed people to comfortably buy radios. Radio access is only a one time payment of actually purchasing the radio and programs come "free" after that. Knowing that most Americans owned radios that had already been paid for before they were economically burdened, FDR reached them through radio programs that he called "fireside chats" in which he addressed the American people.
By means of radio communication.

The internet, television, phones, radio.... Any type of communication that reaches numerous amounts of people in different locations. Internet and phones are two way communication, where as tv and radio would be one way communication (with the exception of hamm radio, walkie talkies, and radios of that sort.)
