It is true that the speeches gave an immense boost to the confidence of people that the things that worried them were understood in Washington; and it is also true that the fireside chats contributed much to Roosevelt's high approval ratings.
President known for fireside chats?
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.
