Pandora

Pandora is a music and podcast streaming platform that provides personalized listening experiences to tens of millions of monthly users. It uses proprietary technology, including the Music Genome Project and Podcast Genome Project, to power station creation, on-demand playback, and content recommendations. The platform serves individual consumers seeking curated audio entertainment for daily listening, commuting, and travel.

The service offers free ad-supported radio alongside subscription tiers, Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium, that provide ad-free listening, offline downloads, and on-demand access to music, playlists, and podcasts. Podcasts can be added to a user's collection, browsed, or searched, with recommendations driven by listening behavior and "Thumbs" feedback. Podcast creators can submit shows for distribution on the platform through a submission form.

Pandora is available through mobile apps for iOS and Android, a website, and integrations with connected devices such as Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Wear OS, and Apple Watch, reaching more than 2,000 connected products. It operates as a subsidiary of SiriusXM Holdings Inc., forming part of a larger audio entertainment company that spans music, podcasts, and radio content. Pandora is positioned as one of the largest streaming music providers in the United States, also operating a digital audio advertising platform for brands.
