Fashion Terms — the Apparel Search fashion terminology directory
A podcast is a series of digital media files, audio or video, released episodically and downloaded through web syndication: a web feed lists the episodes, and podcatcher software checks the feed, downloads new files automatically and stores them for offline listening or viewing. A fashion podcast applies that format to fashion — the shows, interviews and discussions of the clothing world delivered as episodes.

What is a podcast? Here is a description I have found on Wikipedia (Dec. 2010), I have slightly modified and greatly summarized the explanation, but I think you will get the drift. "A podcast (or non-streamed webcast) is a series of digital media files (either audio or video) that are released episodically and often downloaded through web syndication. The mode of delivery differentiates podcasting from other means of accessing media files over the Internet, such as direct download, or streamed webcasting. A list of all the audio or video files currently associated with a given series is maintained centrally on the distributor's server as a web feed, and the listener or viewer employs special client application software known as a podcatcher that can access this web feed, check it for updates, and download any new files in the series. This process can be automated so that new files are downloaded automatically. Files are stored locally on the user's computer or other device ready for offline use, giving simple and convenient access to episodic content".
So, know we have a basic understanding of a podcast, I think you can probably imagine how a "fashion podcast" would be defined. Essentially, a fashion podcast is a podcast that is relevant to fashion. Yes, it is that simple...
Podcasts are used as part of a fashion companies Viral Marketing strategy.

Podcasts joined the fashion media family covered across this section of the directory — magazines, newsletters and television — with one difference: the listener chooses the time. Episodes are heard while commuting, working or sewing, which makes long-form conversation practical in a way print interviews and scheduled broadcasts are not. Fashion podcasts therefore lean toward talk: designer interviews, business post-mortems and season reviews.
The production side is deliberately light: recording equipment, editing software, a hosting service that generates the feed, and a regular release schedule. For brands and publications, a podcast extends an existing voice into audio; for independent creators, it is a way to build a fashion audience without a printing press or a broadcast license — the same democratizing pattern the fashion bloggers entry describes for the written word.
A podcast about fashion: an episodic series of audio or video files about clothing, designers, trends and the fashion business, distributed through a web feed.
The mode of delivery: podcast episodes are downloaded through syndication and stored on the listener's device for offline use, rather than streamed or downloaded one file at a time by hand.
Interviews with designers and industry figures, trend and fashion week discussion, business analysis and fashion history — any fashion subject that rewards listening in episodes.
