Pandora just expanded its offering to include comedy stations to the mix. To personalize the station, just as you would do a music station; select a starting point based on a favorite artist or genre, and then give thumbs-up or thumbs-down feedback. According to your choice multiple genres can be chosen, including political comedy, working class comedy, PG comedy, or comedy from the 2000s, 60s and 70s, or 80s and 90s. Serving related materials to you, Pandora’s technology on the backend will do its magic.
Apparently tons of good laughs are awaiting you thanks to the good folks of Comedy Genome Project at Pandora, who have analyzed thousands of performances to capture their comedic style and content. Needless to say, additional comedic material is being analyzed daily.
Pandora’s founder and CSO (Chief Strategy Officer) Tim Westergren, commenting on the news said: “Pandora is about creating a great, personalized radio experience. Comedy is a natural part of that experience, and it’s something our listeners have been asking us to deliver for a while. We are delighted to now be able to give people a mix of familiar and new comic material that they’ll love to listen to.”
