Can astronauts have a conversation in space without radios?

No, not in space. Sound needs air to travel through, and there's no air in space. However, while they're inside their spacecraft, the capsule is kept full of pressurized breathable air, just so they don't have to wear their space-suits all the time. Since they do have air inside, they can converse without radio while they're in there.
