radio 4 short stories award 2016

Anyone else listened/ listening to this? All stories now on iplayer and podcast. Last year I liked the stories but the 3 I've listed to this year have been boring. A Bangladeshi sewing machine multiple wife thing was the best of the 3 but even then I kept waiting for something interesting to happen and it didn't.
Is it a new trend that stories don't have to have an actual story any more? The one about the woman on her own wittering on about food and nothing in particular was awful.
I want to be entertained and to be hanging on your every word writers, not bored senseless.
