I think that's one of the reasons NPR bought Pocket Casts - to get this data. Where are users skipping? When are they dropping out of a podcast? Etc. Personally I skip forward past ads all the time. I have half a mind to write a podcast player that skips ads for me. It doesn't feel like an insurmountable problem.
