'Fireside chat' comes from US Presidential addresses: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireside_chats
Originally on radio, so I guess the fire would have been in the listener's home?

I work at a large place. Occasionally internal interviews are released on the intranet with some senior bod or other giving their thoughts on some vague subject.
They’re called fireside chats.
There’s no fire.
