Wrong Hoover. You're thinking J.Edgar Hoover.
Herbert Hoover was one of the founders of Consolidated Zinc (now Rio Tinto Group), the Commerce Secretary who standardized radio, and then President.
It could be argued that Hoover was the first conservative shock jock. Guy loved giving radio speeches, and he was chummy with all the radio execs during FDR's government. Even with all the blame FDR threw at him for the depression, if Hoover wanted a radio address, he could get it. It was partly why the GOP was in such shambles during FDR, because Hoover was (much like Trump today) just so much better at being a public figure than anyone they could find to actually run.
