Podcast: Fox News Hourly Update changes to a different podcast after 5 minutes

I listen to the Fox News Hourly Update podcast on Pandora. Why does it give me about 5 minutes of Fox news, then switch to a much longer junk CBS "news" broadcast automatically, even though it says it's still on Fox news. And I can't seem to "thumbs down" on the CBS article either.

@Annie3 Could you tell me a bit more about what is happening?

Does this happen with any episode you listen to, or just a specific one? If it is only happening with a specific episode, which one is it?

Additionally, are you listening to Pandora on a computer or on a device?

If you are on a computer, are you listening from:

A Mac or Windows computer?
Our website, or the desktop app? If you're listening from our website, what browser are you using?

If you are on a device, what is the make and model (and carrier, if applicable)?
Is there an error message? If so, what does it say?
Can you provide me with a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Thanks for working with me on this.

Adam, I think maybe I've figured it out. I'm playing Pandora on my android phone, but listening to it through my car radio using my Android Auto app. I think perhaps the Fox News Hourly Update podcast is only 5-7 minutes long. (I thought it was much longer.) Then it's switching to another random podcast. When I try to "thumbs down" on the next choice using my Android Auto screen in the car, nothing happens. But probably if I do that on my phone a few times, I'll start getting other choices. Thanks for following up on this, though.
