Adelicious Snaps Up UK’s Popular Podcast, Sh**ged Married Annoyed – 195M+ Downloads!

Adelicious, the UK’s leading independent podcast network, has signed up Chris and Rosie Ramsey’s hit podcast Sh**ged.Married.Annoyed.

Produced by Avalon, the critically acclaimed podcast has become one of the most loved podcasts in the UK. With over 300 episodes recorded and 195 million downloads, the hugely popular podcast has continually held spots in the top five podcasts in the UK since the Edison Research chart launched two years ago.

“We’re really pleased to be working with the team at Adelicious. We still absolutely LOVE making Sh**ged.Married.Annoyed. after over 300 episodes (and it’s still the longest job Rosie has ever had!). The fact that so many people love what is (let’s be honest here) just basically listening in on our domestic arguments, is incredible, and we will continue to provide weekly instalments of them until we have nothing left to argue about… which will probably be never.” said hosts Chris and Rosie, Podnews reported.

Under the deal, Adelicious will commercially represent Sh**ged.Married.Annoyed., including its back catalogue. The podcast will continue to be available across all podcast listening platforms and free to its global audience. Other Avalon-produced podcasts on the Adelicious network include Russell Howard’s Five Brilliant Things, Frank Off The Radio: The Frank Skinner Podcast, and Frank Skinner’s Poetry Podcast.

Andrew Goldsmith, CEO at Adelicious, praised the deal, saying they are looking forward to working with the podcast to continue building on their success and introducing new opportunities to the show.

 “This is a fantastic way for Adelicious to kick off 2025—partnering with one of the UK’s biggest and most-loved podcasts. Chris and Rosie have built something incredibly special with Sh**ged.Married.Annoyed., and we’re looking forward to working with them and the team at Avalon to continue to build on their success and introduce new opportunities to the show.” said Mr.  Goldsmith.

In a recent episode with PodcastingTech, David McGuire, the director of Adelicious, revealed that the independent podcast network selectively works with podcast shows. He mentioned how the network was one of the first in Europe to use Megaphone as an open platform for their shows which allowed them to manage and control sponsorship deals directly. This gave them an edge in configuring advertising deals more transparently.

“We try because we don’t accept everyone, we try and only grow as we grow so we can take care of everyone on our network and we can give them time, communication, and everything you want as a Podcasting producer," David told host Mathew Passy.
