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.

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.

@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?

  1. 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?
  2. If you are on a device, what is the make and model (and carrier, if applicable)?
  3. Is there an error message? If so, what does it say?
  4. Can you provide me with a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Thanks for working with me on this.
