My 4th Generation iPod Touch cannot be upgraded beyond ios 6.1.6, and Apple's podcast app requires ios 7.1 or higher. Is there another app, workaround or solution that would allow me to download podcasts from Itunes?

You should be able to get the last compatible version of the Apple Podcast app and other apps too:

Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)

Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X
