\begin{abstract}  % Context  Oscillating stars in eclipsing binary systems are powerful tools for testing stellar models. Binarity allows us to independently compute physical stellar parameters and constrain asteroseismic studies, and such systems can improve our understanding of stellar atmospheres, interiors, and evolution. The \emph{Kepler} satellite has revolutionized asteroseismology by providing consistent monitoring of thousands of targets over several years, including several red giants in eclipsing binaries.  % Aims  Most of these show solar-like oscillations, but some do not. We will derive orbital solutions, atmospheric models, and evolutionary histories to explore what physical processes are responsible for the presence or lack of oscillations. In particular, we will explore how stellar activity and evolution affect oscillation behavior.  % Methods  To accomplish this, we will combine \emph{Kepler} light curves with ground-based spectra and multi-band photometry. We will employ spectral disentangling tools, the eclipsing binary modeling program ELC \citep{oro00}, and stellar evolution codes together with results from asteroseismology.  % Results  The information we learn from these binaries will inform future asteroseismic studies and improve our understanding of why evolved stars oscillate. They have the potential to become some of the best-studied stars.   \end{abstract}
