British-Indian guy living in Los Angeles here - I think it really depends on where you are in the US. I'm in LA and I would say the majority of women here don't really care about my accent. However, I have been opened by women before when they hear me speak. I usually get a complement every few weeks.
I remember a tall fit good looking white Aussie guy telling me that he had 200 women contact him on a dating app within a few weeks of him putting his profile online in Los Angeles. I'm not sure how many he banged because he's moved to another part of the US, and I lost touch with him. I heard he's married now.
A lot of Americans cannot tell the difference between a British and an Aussie accent. I get asked if I'm Australian pretty often, particularly in job interviews because I have mentioned on my resume that I have worked an Australian company.
I listened to the podcast and when he said that American women like him more because he's black British as opposed to Black American I can believe that. I've heard a few women that I've banged say to me that they don't like Indian guys but I'm from UK so I'm not "really Indian". The part about him saying that people buy him drinks is also believable - they must have thought he was a tourist. Locals often buy a tourist a drink to make them feel welcome - I remember some Japanese guys buying me a drink in Tokyo.
I would say that the accent works more on women who grow up speaking English. A lot of women who do not have English as a first language don't even realise that I have an accent. They're too busy trying to understand what I am saying, rather than how I pronounced it.
I get the feeling that a British guy would kill it even more away from the east and west coasts, since a lot of people in those areas may have never met a British person before. In LA and NYC British people are not rare.

Funny how having a french accent in the UK gives you a huge advantage. I think a french/Italian/spanish accent in the US would more or less give you a similar advantage than a british one
Some British women also have a thing for Irish accents.
I remember meeting a French guy who lost in accent after living in the US for a few years. My first thought when he told me this was "You fucking idiot!"
