One of the highlights in my time working at Pandora has been contributing to and enjoying the monthly Pandora Picks playlists. These are curated by Eric Shea, with single-song selections from some of our fellow Pandora music-heads. We listen to a lot of music here of course, and since we each know and love different sets of genres, the Pandora Picks playlists tend to be very eclectic. You’ll have a classic jazz piece next to an experimental metal track, followed by an underground hip-hop gem, and so on. I have found these playlists to be music-discovery treasure troves, along with the engaging and informative spoken intros from the pandas who picked ’em. I haven’t missed one opportunity to contribute a pick since I joined the team here, and I look forward to it each month.
