    I hope people don't mind me taking advantage of the general Apple expertise. I was trying to download a professional talk onto my Ipad. The only standard way to do it that I know of is to download it on my MBP, import it into Itunes, and sych it. Very clunky. Is there any 3rd party app that would let me put it directly onto the Ipad? Neither Safari nor Chrome even recognized the download potential. Dropbox did not seem to work. FWIW, I was able to download it on an Android Samsung tablet at Bestbuy.

    The only way to install applications on an iPad or iPhone is to directly download them from the app store or through iTunes on your Mac or Windows computer. There is no app called "Professional Talk" for iOS.

    I think the OP means downloading the recording of a professional talk, not professional talk as in an app.

    OK, makes sense. That being the case, I don't think there's any way to do what the OP wants. There's a program called iExplorer that allows for browsing of an i-Device file system where you could copy/paste the file, but that's similar to what you'd need to do with iTunes.

    If the podcast is available on the iTunes store (or whatever it is called these days, been a long tiem since I used an Apple device), then it should be available for direct download.
