"Fireside chats" were originally started by President Franklin D. Roosevelt between 1933 and 1944.  They were a series of thirty evening radio addresses as a way for the President to reach out and connect with the citizens of the United States.  It was a way to appeal to the voters.  Although he was really on the radio- not really sitting by a fire- President Roosevelt (FDR) wanted voters to feel as if they were good friends, sitting and chatting by the fire.
