After all, it is getting really old now as it was released in 2010 which was 8 years ago.

My iphone 4s is also running IOS 9.3.5 but I can't find the Podcast app on the phone. Podcasts is showing in the app store however tapping open is non-responsive. This experience is a reminder how frustrating itunes can be.
**Edit**
Well, the podcast app finally appeared on my old iphone 4S. To conserve battery life I had turned off automatic app refresh and automatic downloads under settings. So this settings was changed to automatically refresh and download apps. Additionally, I disabled restrictions on the iphone after entering the passcode incorrectly two times. Luckily, I found the passcode in an old notebook. After a few minutes the podcast app appeared on the iphone 4s and the podcasts I had subscribed to in itunes on my laptop are fully playable. This is a perfect workaround since this old phone can no longer can sync with itunes due to running an old IOS. So Apple failed this time to force me to get a new iphone to listen to podcasts.
