About the book
Diddly Squat: A Year on the Farm is a book by Jeremy Clarkson, published in 2021. This Waffle podcast explores the book across 2 episodes.
What did your first encounters with machinery, crops, livestock and wildlife teach you about the limits of a beginner’s confidence—and the rewards of working the land? With harvests exposed to weather and markets, conservation competing with profit, and local food commanding a premium, how can farming pay its way—and why did you choose to carry on?
These episodes are AI-generated adaptations grounded in the book. Listen to the first episode here and continue the series in the Waffle app.
