Why is my Nancy call to Bind<T>() returning an empty object?

I am having trouble getting the Bind<T>() method to work with a POST request in Nancy. I have this class *:

public class MyPost
{
    public string title { get; set; }
    public string content { get; set; }
}

And I have this NancyModule that simply mirrors the POST data:

public class ConfigModule : NancyModule
{
    public ConfigModule() : base("/config")
    {
        Post["/update"] = parameters =>
        {
            var mypost = this.Bind<MyPost>();
            return Response.AsJson<MyPost>(mypost);
        };
    }
}

When I send this POST request using the Chrome extension Postman:

POST /config/update HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:9664
Cache-Control: no-cache

{ "title": "my title 33", "content": "my content" }

I get this response:

{
    "title": null,
    "content": null
}

When I debug my post method, I see that all of the properties of the mypost object are null. Why is this? When I call this.Request.Body.AsString(), I get the POST data that I expect.

* I made the property names lowercase because when I converted a MyPost object to JSON using Response.AsJson(arg), the keys were lowercase.
