pronounced with a long o as in a "blog post"

i think it's post-er-ous(as 'post'-card)
so far, you're the only other one around here
i've found who's actually used this to post their own voice!
This is a shame-where are the poets!
It's very interesting to hear different accents.
Would be interesting to hear many folks reciting,
or better, speaking naturally, a prepared 'talk' that would highlight differences ....
for example, i have a 'unique' regional accent for Virginia -which is 'pronounced' in the "ou" vowel series (or whatever/however this would be explained) ..... especially "house-mouse" / as examples.
well, keep talking- very cool !

I think they're leaving the issue unaddressed intentionally. Mystery begets buzz and so forth. By the way, nice voice.

I was wondering the very same thing - in fact I was just about to upload a audio post myself asking the same thing. When I first signed up I didn't really think about it, I just thought it was "Post-er-ous". However, now I tend to pronounce it like "Preposterous".

We're happy with either pronunciation, but i've always said posterous like preposterous. It's the preposterously easy way to publish online!
