    And we're loving this series so much we've decided to add an event:

    Policy and a Pint: The Big Sort
    Join author Bill Bishop and moderator Steve Seel to talk about Bishop's book, The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America Is Tearing Us Apart. The book examines how and why Americans are sorting themselves into neighborhoods filled with people just like them -- and what it means for this contentious election season.
