@PrivateBandaid I moved your post over to this existing thread: Option to block out ALL explicit content
To begin, the explicit filter will only apply to songs that play on your stations; it doesn't apply to playlists you create, those created for you by Pandora, or those that are recommended to you in the For You tab. Also, It doesn't apply to podcasts. If you are pressing play on a track that is marked with a red "E" label, then the explicit version will still play even if you have your explicit filter enabled.
To play the clean version of a track on demand, make sure it isn't marked with that red "E" label.
This being said, I recommend you also give this feature request a ❤️ to express your interest in getting it added to the service.
Hope this helps explain!
