This week on Cool Story: Bri describes an extraordinary new exhibition of Hoda Afshar's photography, a year on from the women's uprising in Iran. Then together Bri and Bridie discuss the two big stories doing the rounds of the internet: a New Yorker article by a man who has spent his 20 year prison sentence listening to Taylor Swift; and a Stylist magazine piece about whether or not women are being 'priced out of pregnancy'.

They also talk about how much they loved The Most Important Job in the World by Gina Rushton.
