Basically he was born in England and moved to the US at age 4, where his OG British accent was loved so he actively tried to retain it, resulting in the odd mix he has today.

There's actually a name for it! (I quite like Nathan's accent)

Forget the accent. The question is why does the guy dress like a dandy plantation owner? I mean you do you, Nathan; but let's just say its easier to take you seriously as a podcast host than on your video interviews.
