The Pandora Radio app and the Pandora website are designed to play songs tailored to your tastes, but that doesn't mean you can't invite your friends to follow along. Share either a particular song or an entire station on your Pandora profile, or by email, Facebook or Twitter to introduce friends to new hits or reminisce over old favorites together.

How Sharing Works

Video of the Day

Pandora's default method of sharing posts your shared stations to your Pandora profile. On your profile, friends can see your shares and join in listening, as long as you haven't set your profile to private. Shared stations also pop up in your followers' music feeds, again assuming you have a public profile.
