Accies' women's team will play in the top flight next season after becoming SWPL2 Champions last season.
And McAvennie was at New Douglas Park this week to meet some of the players and hand over a cheque for £1000.
Macca, who hosts the podcast alongside journalist pal Simon Houston, said: "I am absolutely delighted that we have been able to support the Accies Women's team like this.
"It's no secret that in the past I wasn't the biggest fan of women's football and didn't watch a lot of it, but fair's fair - I have become a convert and I have been massively impressed with some of the games I have watched.

"Hamilton did incredibly well last season and now they are back in the top flight and I'm thrilled that our logo will be on their shorts as they go for more glory.
"A lot of my mates are poking fun telling me that I was very much a fan of the ladies back in the day, so I'm expecting a bit of a ribbing. But I can take it!."
"But in all seriousness, I'm delighted at the massive increase in profile that the women's game has enjoyed, not just in Scotland but all over the world.
"I've been watching a lot of the Euros which are on at the moment and it's just a pity the Scottish team didn't make it to Switzerland. Let's hope they can be back on the big stage soon.

"And it would be great to see some of the Hamilton team showcasing their talents on the world stage.
"We will give our podcast followers regular updates on their scores as the new season progresses.".
