I just found out about him, and his videos look very interesting, but the way he talks (the timings/accent/stresses) make me completely unable to focus on the content because I keep focusing on the speech. Does anyone else get that?

He made English subtitles for his videos for this reason -- even the ones in English.

Oh, no, he's perfectly intelligible, it's just that the specific accent/tone variations he uses are a bit peculiar, so I fixate on them.

Opposite for me but I am a nordic ESL speaker myself.

I think my problem is how he pronounces the "r". It sounds a bit off-place with the rest of the accent being rather Finnish.
