Here's an excerpt: Watch Excerpt: The Train to Rootabaga Country on PBS. See more from American Masters. Episode 2 of PBS' "Broadway or Bust" picks up where it left off, "launching headlong into the fire of the rehearsals, coaching and coaxing sessions. Fighting fatigue, the contestants quickly see what a learn-by-immersion experience is all about -- and get an eye-opening look at what life is like on Broadway." Watch the full episode here: Watch Episode 2: "Boot Camp" on PBS. See more from Broadway or Bust. Off Book explores the world of modern fan culture and wonders if it's changed society: "Before the mass media, people actively engaged with culture through storytelling and expanding well-known tales. Modern fan culture connects to this historical tradition, and has become a force that challenges social norms and accepted behavior. "Fannish" behavior has become its own grassroots way of altering our society and culture, and a means of actively experiencing one's own culture."
