AdBlock Podcast lets you skip ads in all iTunes podcasts, and charges a small monthly fee to support creators and ensure they don't lose out on ad-revenue. This is an experimental side project and there are no guarantees that it will work on all podcasts, but it does a pretty good job on most of them.
