Possible solutions were proposed, including the addition of a content delivery system, such as liberated syndication; Podcast Servers;Akamai; a peer-to-peer solution, BitTorrent; or use of free hosting services, such as those offered by Ourmedia, BlipMedia and the Internet Archive. Olympiacos had also played in the final of the previous year, as well as two European Cup finals in the late 90's. Some podcasters found that exposure to iTunes' huge number of downloaders threatened to make great demands on their bandwidth and related expenses. The greatest moment in the club's history was its victory in the 2002 European Champions Cup, after beating Honved in the final. Two days after release of the program, Apple reported one million podcast subscriptions.^[43].

That summer, when the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation locked out more than 5,000 of its regular on-air and technical staff, they responded by creating their own unofficial podcast of original programming, CBC Unplugged, which also appeared on some campus and community radio stations, including CIUT in Toronto and CFRU in Guelph, Ontario. Its rich history, including a Euroleague title in 1997, will help guide Olympiacos as it tries to overcome a 2004-05 season that was full of roster changes and inconsistency. The entire format of KYOU Radio, a San Francisco radio station, became based around broadcasting Podcasts. Returning to the very elite of European basketball is the goal in 2005-06 for Olympiacos, a proud club coming off one of its most difficult seasons in recent years. On March 30 Sirius Satellite began playing Wichita Rutherford's podcast 5 Minutes with Wichita making him the first person who started out as a podcaster to find a home on Satellite Radio.

No one should forget that within the last decade, the Reds knew exactly what it took to win it all. In late March, 2005, the trend began to go the other way, with podcasts becoming a source of content for broadcast radio programs by Leo Laporte, Christopher Lydon and others. But if there is one truth about great, historic teams, they never stay down for long. In May, Sydney station 2MBS became the first Australian community radio station to deliver content via the format, when its Ultima Thule ambient music programme was made available as a podcast. The Reds couldn't reach the Euroleague Top 16 and, despite rallying to make the Greek League playoffs, bowed out in the quarterfinals series. In April 2005 the BBC announced it was extending the trial to twenty more programs, including music radio^[40] and in the same month Australia's ABC launched a podcasting trial across several of its national stations^[41]. In 2004-05, an ever-changing roster made life tough for Olympiacos. March saw Virgin Radio become the first UK radio station to produce a daily podcast of its popular breakfast show.

A drought ended in 2001-02 with a Greek Cup victory, while Olympiacos also reached the Greek League finals and came within a victory of the Euroleague Final Four. United States National Public Radio member stations WNYC and KCRW adopted the format for many of their productions. Although there was a return to the Final Four in 1999, a few years went by before the Reds won another trophy. The CBC trial also included CBC Radio 3's Canadian Music Podcast as well as limited podcasting of CBLA's popular Metro Morning Toronto show. During that game Olympiacos never used a zone defence, although it was played according to European basketball ruling and was defeated naturally by the team of one of the greatest basketball players ever, Michael Jordan (Olympiacos - Chicago Bulls: 78 - 104). Also in January 2005, CBC Radio began a trial with its weekly national science and technology show Quirks and Quarks^[39], which has offered listeners Real Audio, MP3 and OGG downloads since February 1996. Again Olympiacos is the only Greek team in history that played such a much. These trials were extended in January 2005 to BBC Radio 4's In Our Time^[38].

The same year they played against Chicago Bulls and it was a game between the European Champion and the NBA Champion. The BBC began a trial in October 2004 with BBC Radio Five Live's Fighting Talk. At the Euroleague final, the most valuable player of the game was David Rivers (Olympiacos' playmaker). While there had been experimental feeds of radio broadcast material, such as Dave Slusher's August 2004 feed of WREK programs from Georgia Tech^[36], the American syndicated radio show Web Talk Radio^[37] apparently became the first to adopt the format on a regular basis, in September 2004, followed within weeks by Seattle news radio station KOMO and by individual programs from KFI Los Angeles and Boston's WGBH. Olympiacos is the only Greek team to have achieved this and one of the very few in the history of European Basketball. Traditional broadcasters were extremely quick to pick up on the podcasting format, especially those whose news or talk formats spared them the complications of music licensing. all competitions in which they participated; Greek League, Greek Cup and Euroleague(by beating FC Barcelona 73-58 in Rome.

It is worth mentioning that in order to advance to the two finals Olympiacos played with archrivalsPanathinaikos and won both games. The term "poditorial" was coined by author John Hedtke in July 2005 while writing half of "Podcasting Now: Audio Your Way!". Head coach Ioannis Ioannidis led Olympiacos to four consecutive Greek League titles between 1993 and 1996, and to the Euroleague final in 1994 and 1995. The term "podmercial" was coined in early 2005 by John Iaisuilo, a radio broadcaster/podcaster in Las Vegas, who promptly trademarked it. The middle of that decade belonged to Olympiacos, not only in Greece, but all around the continent. "Podcast" was named the word of the year in 2005 by the New Oxford American Dictionary and would be in the dictionary in 2006.

It would also add seven Greek Cup titles to its trophy case, but it was in the 1990s that the Reds made their biggest mark.

In September 2005, the first podcast encoded in 5.1-channel encoded Dolby Headphone was created by Revision3 Studios with their 14th episode of Diggnation. Therefore Olympiacos appointed Trond Sollied.
As of January 2006, Olympiacos is first in the Greek league standings by 6 points. (See also Podcasting and Music Royalties.). The end of the season found Olympiacos with both domestic trophies (Championship and the Greek Cup) but without their manager Dusan Bajevic, as he resigned. Out of this demand, a growing number of tracks, by independent as well as signed acts, are now being designated "podsafe".

Last season (2004/05) Olympiacos appointed again Dusan Bajevic and transferred World Champion Rivaldo. The growing popularity of podcasting introduced a demand for music available for use on the shows without significant cost or licensing difficulty. In the 2003/04 season, Olympiacos finished second. Other approaches include enlisting a class full of MBA students to research podcasting and compare possible business models^[35], and venture capital flowing to influential content providers. Since then Olympiacos won seven consecutive Championships, even after Bajevic left in 1999. As is often the case with new technologies, pornography has become a part of the scene, producing what is sometimes called podnography. The same season Kokkalis transferred to the reds all the Greek young talents he could find, such as Predrag Djorgevic, Grigoris Georgatos, Stelios Giannakopoulos, Giorgos Anatolakis, Dimitris Mavrogenidis,Alexis Alexandris,Giorgos Amanatidis,Andreas Niniadis, etc - Most of whom are still members of Olympiacos today. Awards were given in 20 categories.

In 1996 Kokkalis appointed Dusan Bajevic which was already out of contract with AEK following a class with the management team regarding financial issues and uncertainty. In July 2005 the first People's Choice Podcast Awards were held during Podcast Expo. Having agreed to a settlement of the club's debts with the Greek government, Kokkalis slowly resurrected the team. Apple also promoted creation of podcasts using its GarageBand and Quicktime Pro software and the MPEG 4, m4a audio format instead of mp3. The situation improved after Sokratis Kokkalis took over Olympiacos's shares in 1993. The new iTunes could subscribe to, download and organize podcasts, which made a separate aggregator application unnecessary for many users. On the pitch, the team without a serious management team went nine seasons without a league title (1986/87 to 1996/97. In June, 2005, Apple staked its claim on the medium by adding podcasting to its free iTunes 4.9 music software and building a directory of podcasts at its iTunes Music Store.

Soon Koskotas was accused of and convicted for embezzlement, leaving Olympiacos deep in debt. Some experienced Internet users declared podcasting to be either nothing special (just a variant of blogs and mp3s), or already past its peak (because of growing exposure, and/or adoption by unsavvy Internet users). In the mid 80s Olympiakos came into the hands of Greek Businessman George Koskotas. By mid-2005, the medium had acquired backlash. Olympiacos experienced its darkest days from the mid-1980s until the mid-90s. In May 2005 the first book on podcasting was released, the award-winning Podcasting The Do it Yourself Guide, by Todd Cochrane. The highlight for that side was the 1973/74 season, when Olympiacos won the league with record points (59) and of goals (102). Bush became a podcaster of sorts, when the White House website added an RSS 2.0 feed to the previously downloadable files of the president's weekly radio addresses^[34].

He appointed Lakis Petropoulos as coach and signed star players Giorgos Delikaris, Yves Triantafyllos, Julio Losada, Milton Viera and Dimitris Persidis. President George W.

Later in the summer of 2005, U.S. In the 60s and the 70s Olympiacos won just 5 Championships and 8 Cups, but even in the lean years, the club remained the team every other Greek side wanted to beat. Within a few episodes, the show had all the features of a major podcast: a web site with subscription feeds and show notes, guest appearances, questions from the audience, reviews and discussion of books, musical interludes of podsafe (noninfringing) songs, light banter (sports and recreation talk), even limited soundseeing from on location. It is worth mentioning that Olympiacos for several seasons was not allowed to make use of the Karaiskaki Stadium and with permition from Panathinaikos found a temporary home in “Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium”. In March of 2005, John Edwards became the first national-level US politician to hold his own podcast^[33].

In 1940 Olympiacos had already 6 Championships in 11 seasons and by 1960 he had won 15 Championships in 23 Seasons as well as 9 Cups and 6 Doubles. In February 2005, podcasting networks started to appear on the scene with podcasters affiliating with one another. Olympiacos won the Greek Championship for the first time in that season, and has since become the most winning team in Greece. After Dawn and Drew, such "couplecasts" became quite popular among independent podcasts (those not derived from a preexisting radio show). From the season 1930/31 (which started in January of 1931) and on, the best teams from the country participated. Those Top Ten programs gave further indication of podcast topics: four were about technology (including Curry's Daily Source Code, which also included music and personal chat), three were about music, one about movies, one about politics, and—at the time number 1 on the list—The Dawn and Drew Show, described as "married-couple banter," a program format that USA Today noted was popular on American broadcast radio in the 1940s.

The second Greek Championship took place in 1929/30 only with three teams (the local champions of: Athens, Piraeus and Thessaloniki). The newspaper quoted one directory as listing 3,300 podcast programs in February, 2005. and during that season they played fiendly games with each other. USA Today told its readers about the "free amateur chatfests" the following February ^[31][32], profiling several podcasters, giving instructions for sending and receiving podcasts, and including a "Top Ten" list from one of the many podcast directories that had sprung up. Panathinaikos and AEK decided to follow Olympiacos and together they formed a group called P.O.K. Capturing the early distribution and variety of podcasts was more difficult than counting Google hits, but before the end of October, The New York Times had reported podcasts across the United States and in Canada, Australia and Sweden, mentioning podcast topics from technology to veganism to movie reviews^[30]. However in that season Olympiacos came to a dispute with the Hellenic Football Federation and did not participate. On October 11, 2004 the first phonetic search engine for podcasting was launched called Podkey to assist podcasters to easily connect to each other.

On that day, the result was 24 hits^[29].

The club was founded in 1925 in the city of Piraeus, where the team still plays today. Fellow blogger and technology columnist Doc Searls began keeping track of how many "hits" Google found for the word "podcasts" on September 28, 2004. .
