 * I got podPress, an awesome plugin, but when i use the WordPress upload option
   seems like any file over, say, 5 MB will time out, the error message says, “This
   script was not meant to be called directly.”
 * I have several Radio Host that need to upload their shows/podcast for on-demand
   listening after its streamed on the radio.
 * Is there a way i can chnage a setting for uploads so they can upload theirs mp3s?
 * I am an admin and i even cant upload large files? I would rather not give any
   one direct access to the FTP.

 * You need to modify your php.ini to be able to upload large files. The limitation
   is “ultimately” controlled by the php.ini and not so much wp-config.php
