=== Word of the Week ===
Before each regular episode, Dan chooses a Word of the Week. This is a [[Shakespearean]] word that may be confusing to an average listener. Dan defines the word, gives an example of it in a sentence and then uses it during the episode without Kevin realizing. At the end of the episode, Kevin attempts to guess what the Word of the Week was.

The regular episodes include a segment where Dan and Kevin answer three quick questions at the intersection of Shakespeare and the present day. These are usually listener-submitted questions, though they are occasionally submitted by Dan or Kevin. Episodes #34 and #60 were [[best of]] compilations of previous Duel questions.

=== So You're Going to See Shakespeare ===
Once a month, in place of a regular episode, they release a "So You're Going to See Shakespeare" feature. During the episode Dan and Kevin give a plot summary of the play, discussing where it falls in Shakespeare's personal timeline and what was happening in the world at that time. The breakdown includes identifying a prominent theme in the play, picking which non-title character they would most like to portray in a production, analyzing a quote from the play, and highlighting the biggest practical challenge for a director (usually a stage direction).

On the last week of every month they release a "Wildcard" episode. Originally, the episode just had to "be better than nothing," which was then changed to be "but so so"<ref> [https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/noholdsbard/episodes/2016-06-21T23_35_18-07_00 Episode #55 - The Incomplete Histories Debrief] - No Holds Bard (June 22, 2016)</ref> (an allusion to Episode #52: "It is but so so"). A common theme among Wildcard episodes is drafting Shakespeare's characters into different [[fantasy sports]] within a fictional high school, Shakespeare High. Expanding on that idea, they also cast a fantasy production of [[1776 (musical)]].<ref>[http://noholdsbard.podomatic.com/entry/2016-06-28T21_21_28-07_00 Episode #56 - 177Shx] - No Holds Bard (June 28, 2016)</ref>
