Speak at a podium (5)
I believe the answer is:
orate
'speak at a podium' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for orate that I've seen before include "Make a lengthy speech" , "Talk pompously" , "Make a flowery speech" , "Speak like Cicero?" , "Speechify" .)
