# Generate podcast with 2 hosts using Convo Mode, with a user provided script

`POST /podcast/convo-mode/user-scripted`

Starts a background job to produce an audio file with the provided script segments in convo mode. The response
    contains a `job_id` that can be used to query with the `/podcast/{job_id}` to query for status.
    Requires a valid `X-API-TOKEN` header.


    **Note that generating via Convo Mode yields more natural results but takes longer.
    Expect at least 1 minute of processing per minute duration of audio before investigating a potential failure.**


    Throws:
    - 429 if the user has too many jobs in flight.
    - 400 if any voice_ids provided are invalid or if the length of voice_ids is not 2.
