Top podcast joins the UK’s leading independent podcast network.
London, UK – 3 February 2025: It was announced today that Chris and Rosie Ramsey’s hit podcast Sh**ged.Married.Annoyed. has joined Adelicious, the UK’s leading independent podcast network.
Produced by Avalon, the hugely popular and critically acclaimed podcast hosted by Chris and Rosie Ramsey has become one of the most loved podcasts in the UK. With over 300 episodes recorded and 195 million downloads, the podcast has continually held spots in the top five podcasts in the UK since the Eddison Research chart launched two years ago. The podcast has also spawned two record-breaking live arena tours (selling out London’s O2 Arena and Wembley SSE Arena in one tour alone, as well as selling out arenas all over the UK), a Sunday Times №1 bestselling book, two series of an acclaimed BBC chat show, and, last autumn, a new children’s book which went on to become an instant bestseller. The show has also picked up multiple awards including back-to-back National Comedy Awards for Best Podcast (2023 and 2022), a Global Award for Best Podcast and the Listeners’ Choice Award at the British Podcast Awards.
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.
Chris and Rosie said: “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.”
Andrew Goldsmith, CEO at Adelicious, said: “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.”
Richard Allen Turner, Executive Producer at Avalon, said: “We have an excellent relationship with Andrew and the team at Adelicious on other podcasts we produce and are delighted to team up with them with them for Chris and Rosie’s brilliant Sh**ged.Married.Annoyed.”
Sh**ged.Married.Annoyed.is available on every podcast listening platform, including Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and Spotify. For brands and advertisers looking to work with the show, please get in touch at [email protected]
