=== 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.
=== Duel ===
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, #60, and #
Previous Duel questions have been:
Line 29:
For certain questions, a [[lightning round]] is triggered wherein Dan and Kevin give as many answers to the question as possible within a single minute (e.g. Shakespearean cocktails).<ref>[http://noholdsbard.podomatic.com/entry/2015-08-25T23_09_24-07_00 Episode #13 - The Quality of Mercy Is Not Strain'd] - No Holds Bard (August 25, 2015)</ref>
=== Homework ===
During the regular episodes, Dan and Kevin answer a Shakespearean homework question usually found on [[Yahoo! Answers]] or [[Reddit]], or submitted directly to them.
Line 37:
* In ''Julius Caesar'', how is Mark Antony's funeral speech more personal than Brutus' speech?<ref>[http://noholdsbard.podomatic.com/entry/2016-09-07T06_19_05-07_00 Episode #66 - I Have Drunk And Seen The Spider] - No Holds Bard (September 7, 2016)</ref>
=== Everyday Shakes ===
The final segment of regular episodes is Everyday Shakes. Dan and Kevin select a Shakespearean quote, or a portion of a quote, and after reading it in context, examine how it can be used in contemporary conversations. The quote they choose is used for the episode's title.
=== 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).
Line 70:
* ''[[Henry V (play) | Henry V]]'' (Episode #119)
* ''[[Henry IV, Part 2]]'' (Episode #123)
* ''[[Much Ado About Nothing]]'' (Episode #128)
* ''[[Hamlet]]'' (Episode #132)
* ''[[Cymbeline]]'' (Episode #135)
=== Wildcard ===
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>
