There are a few guys on the programme . I think the euphonium guy speaks British English while interviewer is American.

The host speaks with a general American accent. He doesn't have a regional accent that could identify where in the United States he grew up.

The euphonium guy speaks with an English accent.

The "euphonium guy" has a Wikipedia page devoted to him, from which we can see that he is English, from Bournemouth. I think his accent, though obviously southern English, has been influenced by time spent overseas, and or, talking to foreigners.
