There is a Hawaiian Internet radio station that re-broadcasts episodes every Saturday at 4PM PST. I'm listening to it right now as I type this.

The other website mentioned, hularecords.com , only re-broadcasts episodes once a month. But the advantage to them is that you can listen whenever you like. Finally, I found this link to a broadcast from December 29, 1949:

You'll notice that this one is an mp3, meaning you can actually download it and burn it to CD if you desire.
There is also another Hawaii Calls record not previously mentioned called something like "Webley Edwards presents Hawaii: Our Fiftieth State" or something like that. It features a gate-fold cover and a ten page booklet. It also features a track by Arthur Lyman, a truncated version of the Hawaii Calls radio show, and lots of dialog and SFX clips which I used to incorporate into my sets when I was a deejay. Well worth seeking out.
