We're talking untidy offices (and an awful lot more) in the new Random News. Could you cope with this workspace? (This is The New York Review of Books office, as originally tweeted by @amandalees ) https://t.co/XZnHbzGC9I

Who would you vote for to be the UK's elected Head of State? More discussion about this poll - which sees Prince William at number one and Sir David Attenborough coming in second - in Episode 7 of Random News.

[Patrick Maguire @patrickkmaguire]

Last week @timesredbox asked YouGov to poll the public on who they'd elect as head of state.

1,680 people were given the chance to name *anyone*...

...but 1/4 of people who expressed a view picked a senior royal anyway.

Prince William beats Attenborough. The Queen is third.

How could we NOT be more serious this week? The news agenda (and its social media mirror) has ranged from serious to heartbreaking. A bit of room for the light as well, in this week's Random News #SarahEverard #maleviolenceagainstwomen #HarryandMeghan

Thank you for the retweet @MichaelRosenYes . You are very kind.

[Random News @RandomNewsPod]

Polite cough... yes indeed. And the latest episode of this new podcast even discusses @MichaelRosenYes himself...

[helenlp @Drhelenlp]

@MichaelRosenYes I think this is why podcasts have become so popular. Its so interesting to hear ordinary have conversations about stuff they are passionate about.
