The following example doesn't sound quite right if you substitute "went on a platform" 
for "took the podium".
.
"A smiling Wen Jiabao took the podium at the Waldorf Astoria  ..."
.
It would read as follows: "A smiling Wen Jiabao went on a platform at the Waldorf 
Astoria ..."
.
Also, I don't think it's just *any* sort of platform; I think it's typically an 演壇 
(rostrum; podium). See following examples from jukuu.com:
.
1) The Prime Minister mounted the platform.
総理大臣が登壇した。
 	
2) Entertainment.Chief Xbox Officer Robbie Bach joined Gates onstage to talk about the 
momentum for Xbox.
エンターテインメント:Xboxの最高責任者(Chief Xbox Officer)であるロビー バック(Robbie Bach)は、ゲイツ
とともに登壇し、Xboxの潜在能力について語りました。

3)My claim to fame around Microsoft is that I was the guy on stage with Bill Gates 
giving a presentation during the Seattle earthquake in February.
マイクロソフト社周辺で知られている私の評判は、2 月のシアトル地震の最中にビル-ゲイツがプレゼンテーションを行っていた
