You are professionals. And regardless of the current usage by the cool kids, 'podium' is Not. A. Verb.

This usage was discussed in the language segment (http://wnyc.org/shows/lopate/episodes/02152006) of WNYC's Leonard Lopate show today, w/word maven Patricia T. O'Conner (yes, that's how it's spelled). It's the 1st segment listed when you scroll down.
