This confused me because How It's Made has always been narrated by a woman when I've seen it.
I have discovered that: 1. The show is Canadian apparently? 2. The American version has the entire narration dubbed over by a different person so it can use non-metric units.
My questions are: 1. How is the US even real? 2. Wouldn't it be much cheaper to get the same person to do both versions and only replace the parts where they actually say a metric unit?
TO my understanding, the show is produced the way it is so that every market can provide their own voice-over staff (and adjust the units and, well, the puns accordingly). And yes, it's produced in Montreal.
Zac Fine only did it for a few years and then Brooks Moore came back. I wonder if they actually got complaints, or maybe noticed people talking about it on social media. I find Moore's voice much more pleasant, and it's jarring to unexpectedly hear Fine instead.

this one is about the wire bundles inside tires, and it’s narrated by Moore
