A podium is a raised platform used to elevate someone from his or her surroundings, traditionally to make them stand out on a stage. In this sense, the word "dais" is a synomym. The word podium has ALSO come to mean a stand used to hold papers (for a lecturer, for example) or music (for a conductor, for instance), so, in this sense, the word "lectern" or "music stand" would be synonyms, depending on the cirumstances.
The podium was moved to the center of the pulpit in 1563 during the Council of Trent.
