Most comments seem to be just praising this, but in my opinions the visuals are just headache inducing non-sense. I remember watching flash animations and briefly dabbling in making some, but I don't remember this kind of flashing hyper stuff.

All in all this was confusing thing to try to suffer through since I couldn't decide if this was suppose to be just a podcast where I dont look at the visuals or if there was going to be something actually worth looking at. So I just kept looking away and back at the flashing lights while retaining absolutely nothing from the audio portion.

It's aiming for a "demoscene; psychedelic; trippy" aesthetic, as hinted at by the tags listed on page.

You're getting it! That kind of vector animation isn't easy in HTML5.

Flash did have big arcs flying around the screen, at least in subtler background style. Even today there's not much "TV broadcast graphics" around on web, maybe for good reason, or because poor little mobile screens would choke, and need simple elements. Big screens can't have nice things.
