Hi Shawn,

Thanks for the feedback. I read the docs and defined a clean_audio_file
method in my ModelAdmin class. I dropped the Podcast table, made the field
not mandatory in the model and did a syncdb (to test my clean method).

Still a podcast can be saved without the audio_file: the code in the clean
method does not appear to run. Please see the code below:

class PodcastAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
     list_display = ('title', 'audio_file', 'active', 'user')

     def clean_audio_file(self, request, obj, form, change):
          data = self.cleaned_data['audio_file']
          if not data or len(data) < 1 or data == "":
               raise forms.ValidationError("Provide a file!")
          return data

admin.site.register(Podcast, PodcastAdmin)

Am at a loss.
