Hey, @jimbo44.
I'm happy to help. I moved your post over to the Desktop board to keep the community organized.
You can restrict Pandora from playing songs or displaying ads with explicit language.
To block explicit content, from a computer:
- Click the icon (initial or picture) in the top right corner of the page.
- Select Settings.
- Click Content Settings on the left, then toggle the Explicit Content setting to Off to block explicit content. Setting it to On will allow explicit content.
- You'll need to Submit your password in order to confirm your changes.
++
Once this setting is turned off, we'll restrict explicit content for that account on all devices. This will limit Pandora to playing only music and ads that could play on daytime broadcast radio.
Note that this can only be applied to the entire account and NOT specific stations. Also, it doesn't apply to podcasts. You can identify podcasts with explicit language by a red "E" label in the episode title.
Thanks so much for posting on the community! ๐ถ
