How we checked

We read the RSS feed of every show on Apple's US top 200 and each genre's own chart, and took the date of the newest episode it lists. A show is here when that date was more than 45 days before the read. The lists change each time we read the feeds again.

Questions

Which popular podcasts are on hiatus?

31 shows on the US Apple Podcasts charts had no new episode in their feed for more than 45 days when we read them. 9 of them have been quiet for a year or more. The longest gap is Dolly Parton's America, whose newest episode came out on December 31, 2019.

Has the podcast ended or is it on a break?

The feed can't say. Many shows rest between seasons and come back to the same feed, and some stay on the charts for years after their last episode. The show's own site or social accounts are where an ending gets announced.

Can I still listen to a podcast that stopped?

Yes. As long as the feed is up, every episode it lists still plays in any podcast app. Each show's page here links its RSS feed and its newest episodes.

How do I know when it comes back?

Subscribe to its feed in your podcast app and turn on new-episode alerts. A returning show publishes to the same feed, so the next episode arrives on its own.
