Talk:Fireside chats

message: I've found references to FDR doing his chats from the Diplomatic Reception Room, but the photos look like they were taken in what was known as the Broadcast Room. Can anyone confirm that these are actually the same room and that the Broadcast Room was completely changed during the Truman reconstruction? --Tysto 05:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

message: This article is historically editorializing. The article should be expanded with factual information to support its opinions, and those opinions made relative to the groups that support them. Sources would also be nice.

message: How long were the chats? I'd be interested to know that, and yeah, links to MP3's of the chats would be nice.149.171.90.146 (talk) 05:14, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Every president has had a presidential address. In fact bush had one. I think an article should be made on this subject. YVNP (talk) 16:58, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Obama is not revivng fireside chats

message: Interesting fact, if true, that 80% of Roosevelt's words in the speeches consisted of the most common words in the English language. Then again, I wonder if the percentages are similar for other presidential addresses of the era. Alt lys er svunnet hen (talk) 23:37, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Although I am a proponent of infoboxes, I have removed the infobox recently added to this article. The "infobox radio" template is suited to a series of entertainment radio programs but not to this series of addresses—"Starring Franklin Delano Roosevelt". There was no "Recording studio"; these programs were live broadcasts. Many "Writer(s)" contributed to these, not only Samuel Rosenman; these were Presidential speeches. Announcers were many and varied by network (not limited to NBC and CBS); and although I suppose the "Producer(s)" could be said to be the "United States Federal Government", there were hardly 30 "Episodes". Having edited many radio articles I understand the value of the infobox radio template, but I have removed it in this case. The lede better serves the purpose. — WFinch (talk) 14:35, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I reverted the page for now to see if we can fix anything. If this infobox isn't appropriate for the fireside chats, then what is? As recommended by WP:INFOBOX it would be nice if we could at least have one on the page--Prisencolin (talk) 02:13, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Infobox:Historical event (now merged into Template:Infobox event) is used on the article on the First inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, which is the only article related to FDR's Presidential speeches that has an infobox. It is also used for other historical events including the Tehran Conference. I've used it to replace Template:Infobox radio show. — WFinch (talk) 15:51, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

message: It is curious to note that the 1930 US census included a question asking if there was a radio in the home (column 9). It was answered with a simple Y for yes or N for no. I can't help but wonder if that information, namely the percentage of US households with a radio in 1930, had any influence on FDR's decision to go forward with Fireside Chats. It was the first and last year that the question of a radio was included in the population schedules.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drr45 (talk • contribs) 16:34, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
