Hello Adam, Thanks for the additional info on Listening room radio that I got accidently as already described and mentioned I really like these artists that I never heard of before, thanks Pandora. I see this station now is in My Collection when I logged into via pandora.com, so in the future, can access it easier. Thumbs up issue: I just started streaming via Amazon Alexa, Alexa on Pandora play Bad Company Radio to the group Everywhere, Alexa actually responded correctly by playing this requested station correctly, however I expected the first song or the few actually from Bad Company. The first song was from Bob Seger and did what you instructed by saying exactly, "Alexa, Thumb up this song,", and don't recall exactly what the reply was but was along the lines of thank you for the feedback. The next song was Rocket Man from Elton John, however when I repeated the phrase "Alexa, Thumb up this song," Alexa responded back with "Similar feedback already saved for this", instead of along the lines of thumb up noted. Next song, Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight (2015 Remaster), again I said, "Alexa, Thumb up this song, again Alexa responded with "Similar feedback already saved for this". To me Amazon Alexa is responding not to individual song thumb up or down but incorrectly to the station. Different test, I have an Echo Show 5 that is part of my Everywhere group and the device I started Pandora several moments ago in playing Bad Company Radio. After only 3 songs, I'm being presented an ad, really? So soon? Next song, "Any Way You Want It (Live at Cobo Hall in Detroit)" by Journey. Instead of initiating Alexa, I touched the screen of the Echo Show, and pressed the thumb up, which responded with light background circle around the thumb for a moment and went back to displaying album cover artwork, song titled, musical group, and Pandora under group name and also in upper top right. Next song is from Heart, "Alone" Alexa's incorrect reply as previously given, "Similar feedback already saved for this". I then changed what was playing on Pandora and started play by saying "Alexa play Pandora Luke Combs Radio Station to the group Everywhere. First song was from Luke Combs which is what I expected, "Moon Over Mexico", again I repeated "Alexa, Thumb up this song," Alexa's response, unexpectedly with a change in radio stations was incorrect, "Similar feedback already saved for this", I expected to hear Thumb up recorded or whatever the acknowledgment is. Using the touch screen again on the Echo Show, while Toby Keith's Beer for my Horses Feat. Willie Nelson was playing, I pressed Thumb up that again and a circle around it appeared for a moment. Not sure how you want me to create the name of one of the auto-generated playlists, please provide directions. My Alexa devices: Echo Show 5, Gen #? but here is the serial number G0911B0594970HFP that can help determine that, Fire OS 6.5.4.3 (ns6543/3663), I checked for updates, none found. Echo Dots (3), Gen 4 FireTV 4K 2017 Edition FireTV Stick, 2nd Gen (incompatible with group Everywhere) I attempted 3 times to provide Feedback to Amazon under Music and Books, but each time after several words were entered on screen, I got kicked out, each time having to start all over, seems Amazon does not want to play well when it comes to Pandora. Again tell me how to initiate the name of one of the auto-generated playlists that play when streaming Pandora on your Alexa device, and I'll do it. How to I send an Utterance History report? When I asked Alexa, she responded with that is showing in the Alexa app under menu, activity, "Sorry, I couldn't find the answer to your question.". I checked the settings menu on my show, and did not find it there nor on the Alexa app on my Samsung S9+, tell me how and I'll do it. Wait, I see you started to tell me how from my desktop computer, but did not provide the link to click on Adam... There are other entries for Pandora Station, playing specific radio stations were all correct. Did not see any entries for thumb up. Now looking further on Alexa App on Samsung phone, under Voice History for Today, I am browsing it now... all seems to be in order, I only see transcripts of what I asked and what Alexa responded with. Need to go work, I'll check my email later for your or another moderators reply.

@Paddler4x I appreciate you letting us know about the error with the email. I'll be sure to share this with the appropriate party on your behalf.
As far as the T-Mobile Tuesdays ad-free weekend, we do have this existing thread in case this issue pops up again: Still getting ads with T-Mobile Ad Free Weekend - Hopefully, there are no additional issues this upcoming weekend. I will check in with our Support team to make sure someone gets back to you.
For "The Listening Room" this is a curated mode on Today's Country where you'll hear songs picked by Thomas Rhett. There is another fun mode on that station called "Hottest Country Hits" which are songs picked by the curators of Pandora Country. The answer to your question is no, this isn't a podcast. If you hear a message prior to the next song while in this mode, you should be able to replay the message if you want to hear it again during your current listening session. However, you will hear some artist messaging from Thomas Rhett when in "The Listening Room" mode.
I have checked out this station as well, and he shares some feedback about why he chooses certain songs for this specific mode.

If you need assistance with voice commands for your devices. I'd be happy to share some more information. In the meantime, this is a good place to start: Pandora + Alexa Voice Commands
I hope you're enjoying the tunes, and this new mode featuring Thomas Rhett! 🎧
