A chicken in sunglasses asking: What is BFCD? Big Fat Chicken Dude

What is BFCD?

Big Fat Chicken Dude.

Yes, really. It started as a nickname from my kids, it stuck, and now it’s a collection of apps. Questionable branding, surprisingly useful technology.

Everything you read, watch and listen to

Books, podcasts and TV in one place, each with its own shelf, so nothing you’ve loved gets forgotten.

Want to, reading, finished

Keep a wish list, see what you’re in the middle of, and log when you finish, with the format you used: paper, Kindle or audio.

Covers found for you

Type a title and Shelf finds the cover art for books, podcasts and TV, so your shelf looks like a shelf.

Ratings, genres and notes

Rate what you finish, tag genres, add your thoughts, then search and filter to find anything again.

Your year in numbers

How many you’ve finished, your average rating, your top genre and how this year compares with last.

Reading challenges

Set yourself a target for the year and watch your progress fill up as you go.

Share with family and friends

See what your family is reading and swap recommendations. Keep your shelf to yourself any time you like.

A newsletter you write together

Start your own and invite family or friends. Everyone chips in, and ePigeon puts each issue together for you.

Everyone asks

Each issue starts with everyone asking questions. Pop ideas in the question jar any time.

Answer privately

Nobody sees anyone else’s answers or photos until the issue is published, so it’s a surprise.

Out to everyone at once

Weekly, fortnightly or monthly, the finished issue arrives for everyone on the same day, by email and in the app.

One for every trip

Start a newsletter from a trip in Roamulus for the people going, and keep it going after you’re home.

Every issue kept

Read back through past issues, or see everything one person has said.

Sign in to use it
