'''Feral Audio''' was an independent [podcast](/source/podcast) network and production company, founded in 2012 as a podcasting collective by Dustin Marshall after Dustin left [Earwolf](/source/Earwolf). 

Feral launched from Executive Producer's [Shadi Petosky](/source/Shadi_Petosky)'s apartment in Franklin Village to be near the [Upright Citizens Brigade](/source/Upright_Citizens_Brigade) Theater. Shadi, through her studio PUNY Entertainment, financed Feral and PUNY artists created Feral's brand identity, website, and cover art for Feral's first slate of podcasts. 

In 2013, Feral moved to [Starburns Industries](/source/Starburns_Industries) in [Burbank](/source/Burbank%2C_California), CA. Feral Audio LLC was formed in January 2016 as a partnership between Dustin Marshall, Jason Smith, [Dan Harmon](/source/Dan_Harmon), and Starburns Industries.

Feral Audio billed itself as a "Fiercely Independent Podcast Network", offering its shows' creators 100% ownership and creative control over their content. Since its inception, Feral Audio produced high rated and critically acclaimed shows such as ''[Harmontown](/source/Harmontown)'', ''[The Duncan Trussell Family Hour](/source/The_Duncan_Trussell_Family_Hour)'', and ''[My Favorite Murder](/source/My_Favorite_Murder)''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/shira-hirschman-weiss/a-surprising-hit-podcast-_b_11074156.html|title=Summer's Surprising Hit Podcast: My Favorite Murder |last=Hirschman Weiss|first=Shira|date=July 21, 2016|website=The Huffington Post|access-date=October 18, 2016}}</ref>

On January 2, 2018, it was announced that Feral Audio was shutting down in the wake of claims of abuse against its founder Dustin Marshall. Some of the podcasts produced by Feral Audio have since moved to the then newly created [Starburns Audio](/source/Starburns_Audio) podcast network.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.vulture.com/2017/12/podcast-network-feral-audio-shutting-down.html|title = Feral Audio, a Top Podcast Network, Being Shut Down by Founder After Abuse Claim|date = December 27, 2017}}</ref>
