Afternoon Play - Listen Up  by Glen Neath 
******The true story of Italian radio enthusiasts who intercept transmissions from early Russian space missions

It is 1964 and the Americans are losing the space race. The Soviets are way ahead and the Americans have 
failed utterly in gaining any intelligence on their rivals' space programme. So it seems fairly outrageous when 
two young Italian brothers turn up at NASA claiming to have successfully recorded almost every Russian space 
mission over the previous seven years. NASA has to take notice when they realise that the brothers have also 
intercepted American missions and have tapes of classified transmissions by John Glenn, the first American in space.

As it happens they have been sending these recordings to NASA since the outset, but no one has believed them. 
No one except Carla Pettigrew, an audio analyst who is now trying to persuade Major Will Spencer, NASA's 
technical director, that he should believe what they have to say.

Featuring some of the actual recordings made by the Judica-Cordiglia brothers, including the sound of a 
woman dying in space as her craft burns up on re-entry.
