Like, how many times can someone say “like”?

“Hi there. Love the subject matter as always but dang. Is it really necessary to say “like” over and over and over again? The Aphantasia episode is one example. I know you can’t control the way the guests speak (like, like, like), but good grief. Sindu peppers literally every sentence with the word, often multiple times. Yikes. Latif does it, too. Makes you sound like inarticulate teenagers. Like, what’s the deal? Srsly, go back and listen to the episode. (Don’t read the transcript. Some smart transcriber edited all of the likes out.)
I keep hearing this on NPR shows. It’s almost as irritating as that other verbal tick: interviewees punctuating virtually every sentence with “Right?” As if it makes them sound hip and cool. (It doesn’t.) Thank goodness most hosts and reporters don’t do this. Or they do it to a lesser extent.
I don’t know why the like thing has become a thing — it wasn’t the case with Jad and Robert, at least not that I recall. The deteriorating ability of your hosts and producers to speak intelligently is disappointing.”

“The program is primarily a science program, and extremely well done. The hosts convey a child-like wonder, but it does not seem contrived or cheesy. I am still awed after a couple of listens to the "memory" show. Why this program isn't on nation-wide programming is beyond me. ...”Read full review »

“This is such a fantastic podcast. I recently learned that this is season two of the show. It would be great if Season 1 was available on iTunes.”Read full review »
