radio addresses
Airwave spoken messages
Radio addresses are speeches delivered over radio broadcast, typically by political leaders speaking directly to a national audience.
The format became iconic through Franklin Roosevelt's fireside chats and continued as a fixture of American presidential communication: The president's weekly radio address covered economic policy.
The term persists even as such addresses have migrated to podcasts and video.
