Roosevelt bypassed a skeptical press by delivering 30 radio addresses known as fireside chats, reaching tens of millions of listeners directly in their homes. Those broadcasts helped Roosevelt build public support for New Deal programs and cemented radio as a tool of presidential persuasion for decades.
