A podium (plural podia) is a platform used to raise something to a short distance above its surroundings. It derives from the Greek ÏÏÎ´Î¹ (foot). In architecture a building can rest on a large podium. Podia can also be used to raise people, for instance the conductor of an orchestra stands on a podium as do many public speakers. Common parlance has shown an increasing use of podium in American English to describe a lectern.
