On the afternoon of 7 December 1941, as a stunned nation gathered to hear the news about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Eleanor Roosevelt was preparing for her weekly radio programme. Now, her ground-breaking career as a radio broadcaster is almost entirely forgotten. As First Lady, she hosted a series of programs that revolutionised how Americans related to their chief executive and his family. The First Lady of Radio rescues these broadcasts from the archives, presenting a carefully curated sampling of transcripts of Roosevelt's most famous radio shows.
