The Presidential Radio Address
All of the Presidents' Weekly Addresses. From FDR's fireside chats to Reagan's "weekly radio address," to Biden's "weekly conversations." Enjoy this daily bite-sized piece of American history, from 1933 to today. A variety of different names, but all part of the same tradition of personal weekly messages from our Presidents to their citizens. Reagan, Clinton, Bush and Obama gave these almost every week, while Roosevelt, Bush Sr., Trump, and Biden were more sporadic, but they are all here. (Presidents from FDR to Reagan didn't give these addresses.) Enjoy, and have fun learning!
