iOS 13.1.3: Apple Podcasts app for iOS: App crashes if the user clicks and holds down on links in the description area of individual episodes

Apple Podcast app for iOS (version 3.6.2)
Date: 10/28/2019

Description:

With the iOS running 13.1.3, the Apple Podcast app continually crashes if the user presses and holds an active link in a podcast description.

Take a look at the detail page of Joe Rogan's podcast:


Head to any individual episode. You'll often see URLs on the detail pages of podcasts. Take a look at this one....

You'll notice the link (in this instance, a link to Amazon). Simply press and hold on this link. The app will crash - 100 percent of the time.

Here is the crash.

I'm able to get the crash over and over and over...

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch the Apple Podcast app
2. Head to a podcast (like Joe Rogan)
3. Open up the detail page on a particular podcast episode that has a link in the description
4. Click on (and hold) the link to an outside URL

Result: the Apple Podcast app for iOS crashes if you click and hold links located in the description areas of individual episodes 

Expected: the Apple Podcast app for iOS should not crash when the user clicks and holds down on a URL located in the description area of an individual episode
