Access to On-Demand Programming in SiriusXM App

I have been a user of SiriusXM for years, and I have recently become interested in the On-Demand programming on SiriusXM, which allows one to hear a missed program up to a few days after it has aired; I have the SiriusXM app, and I can find several items on it, but I cannot find the On-Demand control to bring up that portion of the app. I worked with a SiriusXM technician for about an hour while he tried to direct me to the portion of interest; but I never found it. Likewise, I could not find the Search bar on which I could have typed a keyword or two for hunting the desired portion of the app.

Have any of you been able to access the Search bar or the On-Demand portion of the SiriusXM app on an iPhone such as the iPhone SE 8 using the latest iOS out there? It is a shame if that part of the app is not accessible through Voice-Over, since music, not video, is the object of the search function. As you might expect, the technician gave me that old worn-out saw, "Don't you have someone who can see to find it for you?" Even if I found someone who could see to get it once, I probably wouldn't be able to find it with no sighted help available later. As a dedicated classical musician, I hate it very much that so far I have not been able to find that portion of the app; it is either invisible to Voice-Over or it is so well hidden that nobody can direct me to it over the phone. In almost every app I have used before, there was at least a Search bar which could be operated without sight. I will be curious whether any of you have found a way to access that portion of the SiriusXM app.

You will find the search option under the recently played tab. Double Tap the tab and then go to the top of your screen.
