However the astronauts often preferred to type in the numbers themselves to stay on top of what's happening. Also, quite often the data that was voiced up was filled into checklists, so it was at hand for maneuvers in case the radio link would break down. Apart from that, great podcast, enjoying it a lot! :) Just for clarification: there was indeed a direct data link between the AGC (Apollo Guidance Computer) and Mission Control.
