Pandora Radio

If you haven’t already discovered Pandora Radio then your world is about to change whether you use it or not. In my opinion 

I truly believe that this is the start of the death of Radio as we know it. You have probably heard the song “Video killed the Radio Star“… not true… better said Pandora is killing the Radio Star. But luckily its actually called Pandora RADIO so it can live a little longer I guess.:)

I use to subscribe to Siriusradio because it had no commercials but with Pandora there is no reason and it takes things to the next level. Now you have endless radio station possibility’s because you just enter in a group or song that you like and it builds a playlist of similar songs. You can create as many “stations” as you would like.

And best of all – ITS FREE – with the spread of smart phones aka “Always having a connection to the internet” This is the new “Radio”
