Ok, something is up then, because I hold the second tap and nothing happens. It works on my main screen and in the app switcher, so I can't imagine it's a setting issue. One thing that happens when I do a double tap and hold is that an option saying, "menu item" appears after I do it. It shows up right after "get more episodes" when right flicking. It isn't a button or a tab, and tapping it does nothing, but perhaps its appearance gives a clue? Thoughts?
