In this paper, we theoretically show that a broadband resonant enhancement of emission may occur for infrared sources located in a polaritonic wire medium. The reason of this enhancement is overlapping of two topological transitions of the wave dispersion in the medium. The first topological transition has been recently revealed as an effect inherent to polaritonic wire media. The second one was theoretically uncovered in another material. In this work we reveal it for wire media and prove the possibility to combine both these transitions with the purpose to obtain the broadband resonant Purcell factor. We compare the results obtained for two orientations of a subwavelength electric dipole embedded into wire medium -- that along the optical axis and that perpendicular to it -- and report on the resonant isotropic radiation enhancement. Also, we reveal the enhancement of radiation to free space from a finite sample of the wire medium.
