The Presidential Radio Address episodes:

January 31, 2023 Ronald Reagan - 1982-4-3
Reagan liked the idea behind Roosevelt's "Fireside Chats," of speaking directly to the citizens about his policies, and current events, so he revived the practice in 1982. He made them more regular (once a week) and more consistent in length (about 5 minutes). Reagan gave one of these weekly addresses almost every week of his presidency, with a few breaks, and every president since him has continued the tradition in one form or another.
"Radio Address to the Nation on the Program for Economic Recovery."
