FACT CHECK NOTE:
ChatGPT had this to say when prompted to provide the initial "study" referenced, "I did not reference any specific study... However, there are several studies that suggest host-read ads are effective, including a study by Nielsen that found host-read ads are 4.4 times more likely to be listened to than non-host-read ads."
The "4.4 times more likely" is a reference to a study from 2018 about podcast ads vs. other digital ads. Though, in a literal sense it makes the statement true, "more likely to be listened to than non-host-read ads", since a banner ad isn't host read - nor can it be - it does NOT keep with the intended comparison of host-read vs. non-host read AUDIO ads in podcast.
However, after some good old-fashioned human-powered google searching I found a study on Host-Read Ads that does happen to back up the claim in the episode is Nielsen's "Host-Read Podcast Ads Pack a Brand Recall Punch" from 2020: Host-Read Podcast Ads Pack a Brand Recall Punch
