Warren G. Harding’s voice was first broadcast on the radio on June 14, 1922, while giving an address to a crowd gathered to commemorate a memorial site dedicated to the composer of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Yet, while Harding was a strong proponent of the then-emerging technology and was the first president to own a radio and keep one in the White House, he never specifically addressed the nation via radio. That achievement was pioneered three years later by his successor, Calvin Coolidge.
