I follow their Twitter feed. Once they realized news had spread like wildfire, 
they decided to defend themselves as if they were  a3 year old child. You 
cannot tell me five people are going to depart right before the holidays under 
good terms. As much listenership as they have developed around the world it is 
rather disingenuous of them not to give an explanation. After they saw the 
firestorm on their Twitter feed, they said they would come out with some sort 
of a lame blog post. After the way they handle the Twitter feed, there is no 
way I can believe anything a blog post could say.

Here it is:
Serotek, the makers of the System Access screen reader and the company behind 
the Serotalk POdcast Network, has parted ways with the majority of their staf, 
leaving the future of the company in doubt. Those losing their jobs include 
Buddy Brannan, Ricky ENger, Lisa Salinger, Joe Steinkamp, and Richard Wells. 
Steinkamp and Enger were let go last week while the other three announced their 
departures earlier on Friday. The staff members let go produced and 
participated in many popular podcasts including The SeroTalk Podcast, 
Triple-Click Home, That Android Show, and End of line among others. This leaves 
a bare-bones staff including long-time programmer Matt Campbell and producer 
Jamie Pauls who remain with the company, at least for the moment. We've reached 
out to Serotek for comment, and inquired about the future of the company and 
their software products and will post more if we hear back. We know a lot of 
you might like to post your memories, comments, or well wishes to those who 
have departed. Feel free to do this in the comments. Update to clarify that 
some of the 5 may have officially resigned. That being said, it's unlikely this 
was done under favorable terms. The end result is still the same.
