Welcome to the debut episode of The Fantasy Suite, our podcast dedicated to all things The Bachelor NZ. Hosted by world renowned Bachelor expert Jane Yee, with support from The Spinoff’s Alex Casey and Duncan Greive.

Reliving the first two nights at the Bachelor mansion, we discuss Arthur ‘Art’ Green, the bachelorettes, the first dates and the rose ceremonies. Alex talks about her stressful time at the Bachelor launch party, and Duncan his exclusive interview with his new best mate Art. These podcasts will be going out weekly on Thursday mornings throughout The Bachelor NZ‘s run.

The podcast is available below, and is now on iTunes like a proper podcast!
