Today, one of the most informative relaxing tv shows ever to air first hit the airwaves: How It's Made. How It's Made exists on a simple premise, a documentary crew films the processes of industrial machines and craft workers and a narrator tells you what's going on. My favorite of these narrators is Brooks Moore, the show's US narrator. He just has the perfect voice for it.
The show's simple premise has lasted it over 400 episodes, and despite not having an episode air in a while it's apparently still in production or at least not yet canceled. If you somehow watch all the episodes of the series, there are other shows in it's genre, but to be honest most of them are not as calming as How It's Made. Satisfying footage and soft narration is just a winning combination.
[EDITOR’S NOTE: How It’s Made is a wonderful watch on its own, but I feel that it’s necessary to bring up two derivative YouTube series that are synonymous with the show’s name across the internet. How It’s Really Made by Huggbees is a popular set of gag dubs that replace the show’s informative narration with a more… creative explanation of the events onscreen: The processing of yellow-orange crayon wax is interpreted as the destruction of Mars, bubble gum is used as an inefficient source of renewable energy, and the key ingredient in basketballs is descriptive as an “ancient mummified fetus”. In a similar vein, you have legendary YTP creator DaThings1’s Wow! It’s Made! Series. While Huggbees approaches the material by leaving the video uncut and replacing the audio, DaThings leaves the original audio in place, changing the meaning through cuts, audio edits, and… well, it’s a Youtube Poop. If you don’t know what that means, I can’t help you.]
