Well, if they claim that then there is something wrong. I uploaded yesterday's show, and right after it was done, I gor this:
"This video has been removed because it is too long.
Sorry about that."

I'm not sure why they won't allow you to upload longer than 15 minutes. If you visit http://www.youtube.com/southgeekme, you'll see that my videos are well over 10 or 15 minutes.

I know that as I created my accounts, I would be notified within a few minutes that my account was now allowed to upload videos of unlimited length. The file size limit is 20GB (if memory serves me correctly).

This may shed some light on the issue. It's from their FAQ page about video length:

Why am I unable to have the upload limit increased on my account?

We are only removing the limit on video length for users who have verified their account is active and in their control via SMS, as well as for users whose accounts are in good standing, meaning they have no copyright or community guidelines violations. Content ID global blocks on even one video will lead to removal of this privilege.

Yup I can Confirm that you need to give them a phone number in order to get the higher limit

I was thinking about doing some episodes on YouTube but I was concerned about the length issue so thanks everyone for clearing up my questions.

Like Mike say's, audio only uploads work! More than 22,000 views for this one...Come to think of it, I should start posting more audio interviews:)
