About Adelicious
Adelicious is a British podcast network that Audioboom Group bought outright on 22 July 2025, when it was the fourth-largest independent network in the UK with about 50 podcasts and more than 20 million monthly downloads. Its shows span comedy, sport, history and culture; those named at the purchase included Football's Greatest with Jeff Stelling, Motherkind and Real Dictators. Audioboom merged its operations, sales team and billing into its own by 1 September 2025, and the consideration paid, net of an escrow retention, came to £4.53 million against a possible £10 million.

About the owner: Audioboom
Audioboom is a publicly listed company headquartered in London, United Kingdom. Brandtree records 2 brands under its control, and it is listed as AIM: BOOM.
Audioboom Group plc is a podcast company incorporated in Jersey and traded on London's AIM market, with its operating companies registered in London and Delaware. It sells advertising on the podcasts of its creator network, through three products: Premium, in which hosts read endorsements within their shows; Showcase, an automated marketplace that inserts ads dynamically; and Sonic, a service for advertisers. Revenue in 2025 was US$80.4 million, 92% of it earned in the United States. A strategic review begun in October 2025 drew three indicative offers to buy the company, which the board rejected in June 2026 as too low, so it remains independent.
