by Feral Audio, the podcast network founded by producer Dustin Marshall in 2012, is dissolving in the wake of abuse allegations against him by his ex-girlfriend.
Musician Abby Weems posted this on her band Potty Mouth’s Twitter last week:

Marshall responded with a lengthy Tumblr post, in which he said he would be taking time out to address his mental health issues.
He also had written, “To Feral Audio artists, after six years, I can no longer have the pressure of running a company, continue this lifestyle and be mentally healthy…Since Feral Audio is forever married to my name, i [sic] am dissolving it so no dark cloud should ever be above your work.” Although he since has amended his Tumblr “about my business to address our artists more directly on 12/26/17.”
That’s also when Feral Audio CEO Jason Smith revealed on Twitter: “I know there are a lot of questions about the future surrounding Feral, and we’ll have an announcement soon, but for today I want to focus on sending our support and love to Abby.”

Smith then posted a link to a Facebook announcement about the launch of SBI: Audio. Starburns Industries had been a partner of Feral Audio.

#Harmontown, #DumbPeopleTown, #DuncanTrussell’s Family Hour, & more, will be migrating to the new service along side a bunch of amazing new offerings.
