@shmebo Nice to see you around the community. 👋🏽
Thumbprint Radio:
If the tracks you're hearing don't appeal to you, feel free to give them a Thumb Down on Thumbprint Radio. It won't affect that song's Thumb rating elsewhere, but it will stop Thumbprint Radio from playing that track.
You may also want to review your other stations and Thumbs, as they inform the content on your Thumbprint Radio.
You can:
Edit your individual stations to delete your Thumbs Up or Down, or delete the station entirely to remove it from your Thumbprint Radio mix.
Try giving more Thumbs Up on other stations besides your Thumbprint Radio (if you're hearing too many unfamiliar songs), or
Give more Thumbs Up across your Pandora account (if your Thumbprint Radio is becoming repetitive).

Artist messaging/stories:
The announcements you heard are not advertisements by Pandora. Instead, these are messages made by artists or curators on Pandora, alerting you of new music, tours in your area, or just thanking you for listening. You have the option of disabling Artist or Discovery Messages to prevent them from playing on your account. To do that on a mobile device:
Go to Profile.
Tap the Settings gear in the top right corner and then Advanced.
Scroll down to Artist Audio Messages. If they are enabled, you will see something like Playing on 15 Stations. Tap that to view which stations have these messages enabled.
If there's a particular artist you'd like to continue to hear from, or who you think you might like to see in concert, I'd recommend disabling the artist messages on a station-by-station basis. If you'd prefer to remove all the messages instead, simply turn off the Play Artist Audio Messages toggle.
To do that from your computer:
Click the icon (initial or picture) in the top right corner of the page.
Select Settings, then Content Settings.
Toggle the switch to turn Artist Audio Messages Off, or if you'd like to disable these messages for specific stations, uncheck individual boxes underneath Play Artist Audio Messages.

Pandora Plus vs. Pandora Premium:
I do see you are currently upgraded to Pandora Plus.
I'm happy to help explain the differences between Pandora Plus (what you are currently upgraded with) and Pandora Premium.
Simply put, Pandora Plus subscribers get access to our industry-leading internet radio and podcast service with added features to enhance the listening experience.
With your Pandora Plus subscription, you have:
Ad-free music;

On the other hand, Pandora Premium subscribers receive all the same benefits, as well as on-demand control. So Pandora Premium subscribers can:
