On the show tonight: * The government announced today that vaping products will be subject to the same advertising rules as tobacco. The leader of the ACT party isn't happy about that. David Seymour joins me shortly. * Tash Ellis from Wellington Free Ambulance has been named the Australasian Emergency Medical Dispatcher of the Year. She'll talk to us about her job, answering calls for help from people facing - in some cases - the darkest moments of their life. * Later, in Kiwi Rules, Jed Parson recommends another musician of his own choosing.

Tonight on the show: * Eight organisations have now pulled out of next year's PRIDE parade. They're protesting a ban on uniformed police marching in the parade. We'll hear from someone who supports that ban and ask them a few questions. * Hospital noise. It is a worsening problem. I'll talk to a British expert about the effects of too much racket in the hospital environment and what we might be able to do about it. * and will the rise of autonomous cars lead to more in-car intimacy? A new study published in the Annals of Tourism Research says it will!
