These sometimes trip me up a bit. Anyone willing to take a stab at helping me figure out the intention of 聞かせてあげられる. To let hear is given?

The sentence says:

"Right now I don't have time to explain all the details. If you come with me, I can explain on the way."

聞かせる means "to have someone listen". So in this sentence, the speaker is essentially going "I'll be able to have you listen".

Yes, and あげられる is the potential form ("I can give"), not the passive. Well, they are identical, but in this case passive is impossible because ～てあげる is a beneficiary action from the speaker to the listener. Thus a very literal translation would be "I can give you the action of letting you listen".

Thanks for these responses, especially that tip about the potential form. Despite it's meaning being clear in context, thinking of it as the passive was really confusing me. Thanks!
